Just 24 years old and Jewel has recorded her second album of sublimely
melodic pop songs.Spirit is full of simple tunes, played
superbly, and sung with the voice of an Alaskan angel, albeit one
that's certainly lived a little.
If your hi-fi's worth its name then Jewel's vocals on tracks such as
Fat Boy and the stunning Deep Water should sit right at
the heart of the soundstage and sound both dramatic and fullbodied.
Her performance is one of simple beauty, but with undercurrents of
irony and worldliness that becomes obvious on a system that possesses
sufficient expression to convey the subtle intonations in her voice and
lyrics.
