Jewel is still unknown in France

BlahBlahNews, Mar 26 1999


"Jewel is still unknown in France. This girl came out of a bubble, sprung from another age, come from a parallel universe. Jewel hangs far over the underground excitement of new musics made with the plunder of others'. Pretty and sensual, she runs neck and crop in a second album. Spirit only appeals to senses, tears, emotion. It might have been forgotten in a fold of the seventies or imported from a planet where the year doesn't work out in 365 days. Her first album made as much damage as a twister in the States. Her music seems to be made for all the quadras who are on command of the north american life. For Jewel, far from being run-down, only does what people like Francis Cabrel and Jean-Jacques Goldman are doing in France. Just pop or rock songs. Among the people who came in studio with Jewel, there are musicians like Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam and a huge songwriter unknown here John Prine. If one had to sum up her influences, one might share in 3 equal parts between 3 ladies : Joni Mitchell, Ricky Lee Jones and Tori Amos."
