It is a big shock to put on 0304 and hear that Jewel has abandoned folkiness and adult pop to make her dance-pop album. This CD picks up the familiar strands of contemporary pop music and familiar themes in her own work, but assembles them in a disarmingly idiosyncratic way. The songs take weird twists and turns in their arrangements, structure, and lyrics, making this an original-sounding album--something with more imagination than the average dance-pop record. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide. Jewel. Songs include Leave the Lights On; Run 2 U; Intuition; 2 Find U; Stand. Disc released June 2003. 1 disc. Made in USA. |
