Introduction:

Jewel was born on May 23rd in Payson, Utah, USA, 1974, but she and her family moved further north to Anchorage, Alaska. Her grandfather Juel named her Jewel, and when she was six years old, she began to sing. She often performs with her parents in the Eskimo village where she lives and is very popular among the local villagers. For the next seven years, she and her divorced father performed everywhere until she was admitted to the Interlochen Academy of Fine Arts in Michigan. While studying in the college, she also participated in drama performances, and at the end of the semester, she appeared in the concert program "Selected Works of Spoon River". After graduation, she went to San Diego to find her mother and got a job, but she couldn't stand this nine-to-five working style, so she decided to concentrate on music.

She is regarded as one of the most talented and outstanding singers in pop music today. So far, she has sold 23 million records around the world. Jewel 1995' s debut album Pieces Of You won an extremely distinguished diamond record because it sold more than100000 copies in the United States (now it has reached1100000 copies). This album contains the best-selling singles "You were born for me", "Who will save your soul" and "Stupid Game", which stayed on the Billboard album list for 1 14 weeks, ranking fourth at the highest.

Pearl's second album Spirit was released on 1998 and was a great success. Spirit, produced by Patrick Leonard, consists of Hands, Down So Long and Jupiter. It won the third place on the billboard album and a platinum record. It sold 6 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful second albums.

1999, Joy:A Holiday Collection produced by legendary producer Arif Mardin was released. In this album, Jewel sang some of the most popular Christmas songs and new versions of some old songs, including the unique Christmas version of Hands. The two songs in the platinum album Joy show that the singer's talent and vision are increasing and more diversified: Face Of Love, which strongly expresses faith, and Gloria, a Latin song. Gemstone also participated in Mel Haggard 1999 album "For the Record". This album includes two songs, "This is the way to love" and "Blade", sung by Gemstone and legendary country music singer/songwriter.

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. Lead singers Bob Dylan and neil young praised her and invited her to warm up for their concert. Since Pearl released her first album six years ago, she has established a strong and close relationship with concert audiences all over the world. In addition to many tours in North America, Jewel has also traveled to Asia, Australia and Europe. She was praised as "the most creative female singer since Joni Mitchell" by the influential London Times.

In addition to her many full-court concerts, Jewel also participated in some important large-scale concerts, including Woodstock 1999. At this music festival, Jewel and her band faced the largest live audience in their whole singing career, not to mention millions of TV viewers all over the world. Pearl's singing was regarded as one of the highlights of the weekend, except that it suddenly rained cats and dogs in the middle of singing "Stupid Game".

Later that year, Jewel sang for President Clinton and his wife at the annual "Christmas in Washington" charity concert, which aims to raise money for the American Children's Health Center.

In August 2000, Vice President Al Gore announced in Nashville that he would run for president with Senator Joseph Lieberman. Jewel sang a song at the party and later became a strong competitor of this group of candidates.

Jewel's extraordinary achievements in singing and songwriting only represent a part of her creative career. Her first book of poetry, Night Without Armor, was published in 1998, and soon became a bestseller list in The New York Times. The book was reprinted 29 times and sold millions of copies. In addition, the audio book published by this collection of poems has achieved unprecedented success, and Jewel won the Audie Award from the Audio Publishing Association at 1999. In autumn 2000, Jewel's second book, Chasing Dawn, was published. This book records a singer's chaotic tour life, most of which was written by Pearl during her world tour in 1999. This book contains photos taken by Jewel, paintings painted in Alaska as a child, and her mental journey as a daughter, sister, girl and artist.

1999, Pearl made her first performance attempt in Ang Lee's film Riding with the Devil, which describes the civil war. Stephen holden of The New York Times said, "Jewel showed a strong sense of humor under the red tape of the19th century." Roger ebert of The Chicago Sun wrote:

"Jewel's convincing and unpretentious performance is commendable. In the film, she is an actress, not a pop star trying a new hobby. " Jewel also released the first documentary video "Extraordinary Life in Jewel: 1999". This autobiographical documentary contains one-hour clips of Jewel's life when he was on tour and not on tour, as well as interviews with Jewel's closest relatives and friends. In addition, the video also includes four songs performed by Jewel/Kloc-0 in Los Angeles on April 25th, 1999, in order to raise money for "the good side of human nature (HGH)". 1999 1 month, Lenedra J. Carroll, the mother of Pearl and her agent, founded HGH to encourage the whole world and individuals to improve the world.

The main project of HGH-"Shimizu Project" was launched on June 5438+0999 10, and was linked to Jewel's performance in NetAid. NetAid is a global live music activity, which aims to eradicate extreme poverty for a long time. The Water Purification Plan wants to create a world where everyone can drink clean and safe water. In addition to cooperating with local communities to provide simple and reliable safe drinking water manufacturing technology, the project also has many educational courses and other activities.

Jewel's stage achievements include three Grammy nominations, an American Music Award and an MTV Music Video Award. In June, 1999, recording arts and Science College awarded Jewel the Governor Award.

Rob Thomas will continue to promote his first solo album Future, which won platinum sales last year. This album successfully won the Billboard 200 album list last year.

As the latest work after 0304 in 2003, the film Goodbye Alice in Wonderland was co-produced by Jewell and Rob Cavallo, the producer of Green Day. Jewel tried a variety of music styles in her new album, from TX's country minor Stephenville to the cheerful pop song Satellite, to the opening song with folk flavor over and over again, and so on. It is worth mentioning that 13 songs in Jewel album are recorded live, which makes the whole album look more like a concert. In an interview, Jewel said, "If I can, I will sing the songs in this album from beginning to end on this tour."

[Edit this paragraph] album introduction

Gem [your fragment] (1995)

Jewel Kilcher, who is in her early twenties, always grabs a handful of soil from her hometown Alaska and puts it in her suitcase every time she travels, so that she will always remember that it is the place where she grew up and played, where she rode horses, and where she saw the ultimate beauty of nature. This unique jewel-like attachment to people and things makes her album Your Fragments so vivid. Since I was six years old, I have been touring the stage with my parents who are engaged in singing. In middle school, I studied vocal music in an art school in Michigan and began to write songs on the guitar. After graduation, I went to a coffee shop in San Diego to sing "Gems", which unexpectedly attracted a group of listeners and musicians, thus contributing to this debut. Jewel's voice is a little similar to that of early Suzanne Vega, a little compassionate in Tracy Chapman, or a little self-cutting in Tori Amos. This album is produced by Ben Keith (played by neil young), and all her songs 14 are equipped with the simplest instruments, even with the faint guitar sound recorded live. Her songs are a kind of wisdom singularity that combines faith, innocence, traditional values, humor and social experience. Although it contains many things, each one is beautiful: Your Fragments describes the story of an ugly girl: The Painter expresses energy? #092; True self-expression is an immortal thought; Morning songs convey humor and sometimes overcome tears; I believe that the guardian angel will always be with the angel. As long as Pearl opens her mouth, it is clear and pure. Her songs are like humming at random among the bustling and colorful people in the street. It's natural and direct. As long as you finish listening to three songs, you will inexplicably hear your heart singing sad songs. It turns out that you are also reflected in the song of Gem.

Jewelry [spirits] (1998)

1995' s first solo album "Your Fragments" created a sales volume of10 million copies for her, and her work "What You Mean to Me/Stupid Game" set a record for the longest time (65 weeks) on the Billboard charts, and she toured nonstop for two consecutive years. Including female musician Lilith Fair, who sang "home of the brave" for the Super Bowl, won the MTV Music Award for Best Female Singer in 1997, was nominated for three Grammy Awards, collaborated with director Ang Lee (the film "dancing with the devil" will be released in the United States in April 1999), published her personal biography, and became a best seller ......................................................

Deeply based on folk songs, in the spirit of "simple folk customs", 98 masterpieces "Spirit" were launched. The spirit of the whole work lies in finding the voice to comfort the worried soul, and at the same time developing the touching folk melody and expanding the personal unique voice. Jewel is in charge of all song creation this time, and simplicity is a major feature. The first single was written by Jewel and Patrick Leonard, a famous producer who worked with Madonna and Pink Floyd. In addition, the bass flea of red pepper also helped out in Barcelona. The most special thing is the hidden track of this bird in the album, which is a duet between Pearl's mother and Pearl. This song is also a memory of her childhood.

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!

Jewelry [Happy Holiday Series] (1999)

Jewel, 1995, a female singer who caused a great sensation in her debut album Pieces Of You with her sweet voice and popular folk music style, was regarded by the music industry as one of the most talented singers in the current pop music world, and her performance was a complete insult to the praise of the music industry. I watched Your Fragments enter the top four of the American album charts, stayed for 1 14 weeks, certified nine platinum sales, and released 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 in 1998, the second album "Spirit" hit the top three album sales in the United States, selling 4 million copies in the United States alone, and two best-selling singles "Hands and Down So Long" were widely praised. 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, so stay tuned!

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 also ingeniously 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 90-year national runner-up From afar into 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.

Gem [This] (2002)

Sincerity and frankness should be the most basic requirement for creation, singing and emotion. Zhu Er, at the age of 65,438+07, picked up a creative pen and talked about her youth troubles in 1995' s debut album Your Fragments. Two singles, You were born for me (runner-up) and Taixin (No.7), aroused enthusiastic response. This album has stayed on the charts for more than two years, and it has released 1 1 10,000 copies in the United States alone. The little girl's mood immediately triggered a super * * * sound. 1998, the album Spirit continued to spread, landing in the third place in the United States in the first round and selling 6 million copies worldwide. Songs such as hand (#6) and Down So Long are deeply rooted in the hearts of mature women. 1999 Christmas special Joy:A Holiday Collection is a warm song full of life beliefs. In the same year, it sang two songs with legendary country singer Mel Haggard. Jewel's solid singing skills even invited Bob Dylan and neil young as the opening guests of the concert. From the Super Bowl in198, the Vatican Pope's Christmas concert, to the Woodstock Music Festival in 1999, and then to the White House Christmas concert in Clinton's administration, the invitations to sing on various occasions further confirmed Jewel's popularity. The Times of London, a famous British media, has publicly recommended Jewell as the most shining female singer since Joni Mitchell.

In addition to singing, Jewel also published a collection of poems "Night without Armor" in 1998, and participated in the performance of the film "Riding the Devil" directed by Ang Lee in' 99, showing different natural tastes. However, three Grammy nominations and the reputation of selling 23 million albums worldwide once made her fall into the myth of singing bad songs. The growing background in Alaska has cultivated her creative personality of exploring loneliness in a vast space. 200 1, 1 1, Jewel released the album like this in the United States. Jewel took the lead in the production for the first time, and co-produced with guitarist Dan Huff who has experience in the production of faith hill and Megades. She also collaborated with Dido's producer Rick Nowels to compose three songs, including the first single "Standing Still", with a very distinct emotional aspect of guitar rock and singing. In her new works, she tries to connect her emotional thoughts with her heart and express her emotional interaction with the surrounding space. Gems endow American music with the contemporary spirit and a wide range of materials, such as pop music, folk songs, blues, country music and rock music. Promote yourself from a fresh female voice creation field to a diversified singer who can properly express all kinds of music works. Serve The Ego, co-written with Itaal Shur, another creator of Grammy's best single Smooth, perfectly blends the ethereal feelings of the East and the West. Rolling Stone magazine in the United States gave her three and a half stars, praising "she is one of the best contemporary female singers, and still retains her elegant and original style". In addition to emotional sound quality, Jewel also added some spiritual sublimation to reconcile the timbre of naughty character, such as the rough and energetic rock song "Everyone needs someone"; ; If you love me, don't worry about me. Whoever shed her delicate coat completely vented her masculinity and learned the fierce firepower of the little girl blues; However, The Wasteland of the New West is an ambitious work, which neutralizes the pride and roughness of traditional folk songs with the femininity, and puts forward some thoughts for the United States to seek leadership in the new century. I won't go away. I'm new to this way, and my true feelings remain the same. Jewel's This Way not only tests his talent, but also shows his contribution to the essence of music? #092; Meaning.

After 1994' s debut album "Your Fragments" surprised the ears of fans all over the world, Jewel continued to explore new fields, extending from her folk roots and integrating the influences of rock, pop, country, blues, jazz and classical music into her works. Jewel tried new sounds in each album, expanding her personal artistic field, and maintaining her unique personal style of wording and musical orthodoxy. Jewell's 28-year-old music career lasted for many years, which is quite rare among artists of his age. During her music career, Pearl was nominated for three Grammy Awards, an American Music Award and an MTV Music Video Award. So far, her album has sold 25 million copies worldwide.

Four years after the release of the last album "This Way", Jewel finished her fifth album "0304" under 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. The first release of the new single Intuition was written and produced by Jewel and Cuban-American producer Shakira, Santana, Enrique. Intuition broke away from the original folk natural music style 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: "It is like a happy gypsy wedding to boldly walk out of the smart folk style and immerse yourself in the joyful beat. The relaxed but powerful singing makes Jewel, a gem, shine more than ever. As soon as the new album was released, it caused an immediate response, and the airborne bulletin board album ranked second.

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 deserves our heartfelt listening, feeling Jewel's intentions and efforts, and experiencing the pearls from 0304 Sex and the City.

Gem [Completely Clear] (2008)

When the track "You and Spirit" was released that year, people immediately thought of Jewell, a cutting-edge musician with excellent sound and beauty, but she could stand on the stage of country music not only by her looks and singing skills, but also by her outstanding creative talent and unique musical personality. Compared with alanis morissette, which was in the limelight at that time, Jewel's country folk songs were closer to the American appreciation habits, so they were more widely recognized. When everyone is expecting how excellent her second album will be, Jewel shows the other side of a talented woman in the cruel music market. The dance style of "0304" has been repeatedly questioned, and the market reaction is embarrassing. Her completely out-of-tune style has caused serious setbacks in her acting career. After three years, Goodbye Alice in Wonderland was released in 2006, and the style of this album returned to the starting point. Jewel restored her good country style and made the market accept her again. Now that two years have passed, Completely Clear is a continuation of this style, and the new album has 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!
