1998 studio album by Jewel
Spirit Jewel , released on November 17, 1998, by Atlantic Records . Singles include "Hands ", "Down So Long ", and a newly recorded version of "Jupiter ", followed by a remix of "What's Simple Is True" to promote Jewel's debut film Ride with the Devil Habitat for Humanity .
Spirit debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with 368,000 copies sold in its first week. It went on to sell 3.7 million units in the United States.[5]
Composition [ edit ]
Kilcher began writing material for Spirit after the release of Pieces of You in 1995.[6] Peter Collins , but scrapped the tracks after singles from her debut album, Pieces of You [6]
In a 1998 interview, she divulged that the song "Fat Boy" was written about a boy she grew up with who committed suicide on her family's property in Alaska : "There was a note [he left] that said some thing along the lines of, 'Nobody will love me,.' And to know that you're not sexually attractive in our society at age thirteen or to feel that you won't ever be loved at age eighteen is just devastating."[6] [6]
Recording [ edit ]
Spirit was recorded at Groove Masters in Santa Monica, California , and Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood .[7] Patrick Leonard (who frequently had worked with Madonna ), who added percussive undercurrents and keyboards to the guitar-based tracks.[6]
Reception [ edit ]
David Browne of Entertainment Weekly [9] Rolling Stone ' s Rob Sheffield felt that while "Jewel's sincere sentiment has its attractions in a time of irony overload", she "spends most of Spirit straining for grand meaning-of-life statements."[14]
Jon Pareles of The New York Times Joni Mitchell , Stevie Nicks , Michael Stipe , and Rickie Lee Jones , adding that "half the songs ... reach an otherworldly tenderness, redeeming the lyrics through the grace of the music."[17] CNN praised Jewel's vocals on the album, though added: "In the funky, accusatory 'Who Will Save Your Soul ' on the first album, Jewel dropped to a growl to ask, 'Who will save your soul after the lies that you told, boy.' Songs in the new collection such as 'Hands' and 'Kiss the Flame' are, by contrast, pleasant folky confections that don't distinguish themselves musically or lyrically."[18]
