Jewel's first UK concert in almost three years will be in the Royal Festival Hall, lying on the Thames on London's South Bank. The venue is adjacent to the spectacular London Eye and just across the river from the Houses Of Parliament. This concert is one of three that Jewel will be performing in Europe in February, the others in Amsterdam and Hamburg, to promote her fourth studio album This Way.

The Times - 28 February 2002 : "Switching expertly between masks -- coquettish ingenue, bruised lover, tremulous inner child" (more)

The Guardian - 28 Feb 2002 : "the closing Who Will Save Your Soul stands out, courtesy of a loping reggae beat and scat vocal" (more)

The Independent - 8 March 2002 : "Her voice is something, too, swooping from eerie Shirley Temple (that top note could paralyse) to sultry Eartha Kitt" (more)

Evening Standard - 27 February 2002 : "a show that confirmed her as the pre-eminent female singer/songwriter of her brief era" (more)

Jewel: A famously prodigious talent who was performing alongside her singer/songwriter parents as early as the age of six, Jewel's quirky, melodic, easy-on-the-ear pop has made her a respectable success, if not the household name the hullabaloo which surrounded her debut, Pieces Of You, suggested it might. No, Jewel remains the chanteuse of the comfortably leftfield coffee table, a more worthy Alanis, perhaps, or a Joni Mitchell for the diet-Coke generation. If comfortable pleasantness is what you want, she's where it's at.

Jewel Kilcher has inched her way up from Alaskan hippie chick to LA coffee-bar troubadour, to gigs for Clinton and the Pope. Her Spirit album sold enough to buy a chain of Holy Roller Latte bars but Jewel did the bohemian thing and dropped out for a while. Now she's back with new disc, This Way

Q, January 2002

Although this Alaskan singer-songwriter still fancies herself as a poet, her third album This Way is remarkably robust. Roadhouse swagger, Eastern sensuality and a sense of humour combine to impressive effect.
