Free Music Review: JEWEL "PIECES OF YOU"
Hit: 2 Stars
First of all, I'm a really big fan of Jewel, I think she's one of the best singer/songwriters of all time.
On "Pieces Of You" I think the title track, "Near You Always," "Adrian," "I'm Sensitive," "You Were Meant For Me" and "Emily" are all great songs, both vocally and lyrically. I find that with the rest of the songs, the songwriting is still great but the vocals are what really lets the songs down. Jewel has always managed to write good lyrics that are interesting, she's written great stories like "Adrian," "Fat Boy," "Till We Run Out Of Road," "Stand," "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland," "Good Day," "Stephenville, TX" or "Rosey And Mick" - the love songs she writes are never cheesey, she just always keeps the writing really good.
Her vocals on this album (other than the six songs I mentioned, which I don't just think are alright songs, they're great songs) are very awkward, they're not easy on the ears at all, and Jewel has clearly learnt from this as she hasn't sang in this style since, she has said she doesn't know why this album sold over 11 million copies worldwide and I agree, when I think that her other albums combined haven't sold as many as this album, I find it sad, I just can't understand how "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" is her only album not to sell over a million copies, the vocals on all her albums other than this one are on a high level, I guess the positive thing though is that Jewel is sticking to singing in the best way she can and isn't going back to singing in the way she does here.

Title: PIECES OF YOU
Street Release Date: 02/28/1995
Genre: ROCK/POP
Jewel's debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice--strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common with, say, the Indigo Girls or Lisa Loeb than with Judy Collins or Nanci Griffith. Despite her soft soprano and pretty melodies, her songs have an iconoclastic edge which make her more of an unplugged alternative rocker than a folkie. Her songs too often betray their origins as written verse in their hard-to-sing meters, unmusical phrasing, and diary-like pronouncements. Nonetheless, a few numbers, such as "Morning Song" and "You Were Meant for Me," show a spark of humor about romance, and hint that Jewel may yet write songs worthy of her remarkable voice. --Geoffrey Himes
