Jewel

Folk-pop singer Jewel hit it big in the late-'90s with her confessional, stark songwriting

Biography

A contemporary folkie renowned for her expressive, crystalline voice, singer/songwriter Jewel was among the most successful of the many new female performers who dominated the pop charts throughout the 1990s. After signing to Atlantic, Jewel issued her debut LP, Pieces of You; the record was a slow starter but became a best-seller. Her hotly anticipated second album, Spirit, followed in 1998. This Way (2001) appeared as a more lighthearted follow-up to Spirit. Fans and critics were shocked when the slick dance-pop album 304 (2003) was released. Goodbye Alice in Wonderland (2006) was a return to the warm sound of her earlier work and reached the Top Ten. ~ Jason Ankeny
