Spirit is an album mainly composed of folk songs, which means paying tribute to folk songs. Rock and country, which are neither too hot nor too hot, will occasionally penetrate into these works, with unified style and complete concept expression. In the pop music market dominated by black music for a long time, Jewel not only insists that her style will not be affected, but even hopes that the folk songs full of humanistic spirit in the 1960s and 1970s will be loved by fans again before the end of this century! Jewel, 1995, a female singer who made a big splash in her debut album Pieces Of You with her sweet voice and popular folk music style, is regarded by the music industry as one of the most talented singers in the pop music world today, and her performance is a complete insult to the music industry. See "Your Fragments" in the top 4 of the US album list, staying for 1 14 weeks, and being certified to have 9 platinum sales, and producing three excellent best-selling songs: "You were born for me", "Who will save your soul" and "Stupid Game". You know, Pearl is really great. Then, 1998, the second album "Spirit" hit the top 3 in the US album list, and sold 4 million copies in the US alone. The two best-selling singles "Hands and Down So Long" were well received. However, Jewel is not complacent about her musical achievements, but tries to explore more possible space in her acting career-she starred in Ang Lee's film "Riding with the Devil" and published the best-selling poetry collection "Night Without Armor". I believe that Jewel's music works will be more excellent and mature after many experiences. Looking forward to it!
My first expectation is the legendary producer Aref Mardin (aretha franklin, barbra streisand, bette midler &; Chaka Khan is a brand-new Christmas song, which aims to bring more joy to Jewel. In addition to the interpretation of Christmas essential songs that people have long been familiar with, such as Joy on Earth, Silent Night, Winter Wonderland, Bethlehem Town and so on. She also treated the first soloist in the "Spirit" album as a festive form. Hands, after strengthening the strings, show a very interesting sense of hearing, and the traditional Christmas song Ode to Our Lady is also regarded as a sweet hymn to express vocal music. In addition, Jewel skillfully combined the classic black soul song "Tell It On The Mountain", "Life is Extraordinary" from the album "Spirit" and the famous female singer bette midler's "The Distance to the National Runner-up in 90" to form a wonderful gospel suite.
The atmosphere of Christmas should be a scene of family reunion, full of joy and children laughing, and the most suitable scene is Joy of Gems, a festival selection with 13 Christmas songs, which will not only bring you a happy holiday, but also satisfy you mentally. Jewel finished her fifth album "0304" at Atlantic Records. In this album, the multi-platinum singer/songwriter reveals a new musical direction, which stems from her growing interest in the rhythm and structure of modern dance music. Intuition, the first new single released, was written and produced by Jewel and Cuban-American producer Shakira, Santana, Enrique. Intuition broke away from the original natural music style of folk songs and was replaced by gypsy and Latin charm full of rhythm and swing. Sure enough, the new attempt won Jewel the third place in the Billboard singles list. Billboard magazine also praised the change of Jewel's style: "boldly step out of the smart folk style and immerse yourself in the happy beat, just like a happy gypsy wedding." The relaxed but still powerful singing makes Jewel's jewelry shine more than ever. " As soon as the new album was released, it caused an immediate response, ranking second on the Airborne Bulletin Board album list.
The 0304 album was produced by Lester Mendes and Jewel. In addition to maintaining their own creative crystallization, there are also many works with other musicians. 14 songs not only have many new elements, but also successfully show Jewel's consistent style and strong literati rhetoric. "Let the Lights on" presents the unique charm of Pearl singing jazz songs in the form of a big band. 2 became 1, the first collaboration with robbie williams's best partner Guy Chambers, which filled the sweet voice of the gem with this fresh and lovely sketch. I found you, fragile heart, doing well … in the middle of the album, I was addicted to the greenhouse built by the honey sound of gems. U & mixed with the flavor of techno; I = love has a rare jewel-like charm; Of course, Pearl's keen observation can also be seen in the lyrics, and the stand and America, which expresses her cold view of American society, is admirable.
Jewel has always been a live singer with great public charm, whether she is wearing a guitar alone or leading a band on the stage. Jewel's attempt to make a new change in music is worthy of our heartfelt listening, feeling Jewel's heart and efforts, and experiencing pearls from 0304. The new album "Completely Clear" invited the big-name country producer John Ritchie (big&; Rich) manipulation, so that the whole album has not yet been listed, it has caused quite a response!
Judging from the jacket, the new album presents a different style, and Jewel has become more sexy and mature. We can see that she deliberately got rid of her previous impression to show a new side, and so is music. The whole album exudes a strong American style, and the iconic instruments in country music such as banjo and mandolin are greatly interspersed in the melody of the song. Fortunately, Jewel completely abandoned the DISCO style that did not belong to her, which is worthy of recognition.
However, when we read this album carefully, we found that Jewel didn't seem to understand the true meaning of country music, but only played the popular bubble gum songs with country instruments. Only "I do" is a good work in the whole album. It seems that the record company has not accurately grasped its position, and Jewel needs to examine itself in time. As a creative talented woman, her eyes should not only stay at the level of idol artists such as Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift who sing for the sake of singing, but also know that "Southern Chicken" and "Sugar Country" are her goals!
Generally speaking, Jewel's new album is still excellent in audibility, and several works are catchy, but only this can't be a boutique album. Too popular melody and singing will also be criticized by people in the industry. So for Jewel, the future needs to go further and the road is very long. We expect Jewell's next album to be even better! Gemstone released her new album [lullaby] in 2009. As the name implies, it is indeed a lullaby record and five classic songs, such as Simple Gift, Somewhere on the Rabe River, Brahms' lullaby, Twinkling Little Star and so on. In addition, there are jewel's latest personal creations, such as Forever and always, which are the most popular among fans, and Circle Song with good lyrics. This is also Jewel's first record independently produced and released through independent labels. The entire album was produced and recorded in Jewel's home studio in Texas.
If you simply treat this album as music for children and miss it, it will be your loss. It is not only a lullaby for children, but also a healing music for adults to release their mood and soothe their hearts. It can not only calm children to sleep, but also be a way for adults to relax and decompress. An acoustic guitar and a clear voice present the most primitive, natural and simple musical expression. I believe that in this noisy and chaotic civilized city, everyone who is busy and at a loss will choose to listen to lullabies because they are eager to be hypnotized, to fall asleep and to enjoy the most relaxing and comfortable moment of the day.
Lullaby is not only suitable for children, but also for adults ... "Sweet and Wild" is the second country album (ninth album) of American female singer Jewel, and a song in the album "Stay here forever" is included in the soundtrack of the movie "Valentine's Day" as one of the title songs. The demo of the song "What Are You" was also published some time ago.
In addition, this album has a Deluxe Edition, which was released at the same time as the regular edition. The second CD (Sweet and Gentle) is the original version of each song (on iTunes, pre-ordered fans can give an extra song, "Angels Need a Ride"). This single was officially released on August 29th, 20 10.
I sang it live in 2009, when the name was a hole in my heart.
Pearl sang this song in the prime time of the 20 10 Emmy Awards ceremony to commemorate the superstars who died of cancer.
