And not all "pop" stations just play Britney Spears and boybands. There are plenty of stations who mix their music. Sure, they play teeny bopper stuff, but thats not all they play. They play actual good bands too. Give "pop" radio a break. Face it, Jewel IS pop. She's not teenybopper, there is a difference. cymbie tree hugger - -- when night falls it's dawn one must reach for. - -a. camus ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 17:58:27 -0200 From: "FabioJJ" Subject: Re: [EDA] Featured Artist they say: "Atlantic started its marketing campaign with a quick, two-week U.S. promotional tour, with appearances booked on the late-night TV shows, MTV's "TRL," the My VH1 Awards Dec. 2, and a series of live radio Christmas shows in December."

I remembered when POY came out in 1995, I heard her on alternative stations like 91X (San Diego), WBER (Rochester), and WHFS (Washington DC). Today, she doesn't fit the alternative category anymore. But to some, she is adult alternative.

But I have heard her a couple times on our campus radio station, and I'm at a University therefore lots of people have probably heard her. I think that's a pretty good sign!

Once it's added requests are good but they by no mean determine if the song is going to be played or not...Standing Still was added on Q95.5 almost as soon as it came out...a few days after. Jewel was on our show on September 25th...It's now on every single show block. I was talking to the morning show producer, (he books talent for the show) and because Jewel is coming to WKQI's Jingle Ball we have to play Standing Still 17 times a day or she won't come!! So record companies have all the power...haha But every time I turn on my radio I have a good chance of hearing her!! I love it!! Esepcially now it's being played in the morning show it makes it easier for me to get up! Well yeah so that's my take on the whole request thing...

We'll soon be launching a brand new version of Jewel's website to coincide with the release of "This Way." You can expect a new look and improved navigation, in addition to the information, photos, contests, webstore and features you've enjoyed in the past. We're looking forward to serving you even better in 2002. In the meantime, Jewel continues planning her upcoming schedule here in the states and rehearsals with her new band are going well. Keep an eye on the www.jeweljk.com calendar, as it is now often updated multiple times a day. It's the best way to keep up on TV, radio and concert scheduling information. Now onto another one of your questions for Jewel. Today's question was submitted by JeweLink member Steve Hallowes. Steve asks: You've talked a lot about how all the touring and promotion that you had to do for Spirit kind of wore you out, made you very tired, and even made you reconsider whether or not you wanted to be in the music business anymore. I was just wondering what you planned on doing with the release of your new album to avoid that same thing happening over again? Jewel answers: I have learned to insist on pacing myself better; valuing the fact that for my art and writing I need to be able to get outdoors, amongst the open spaces that I relied upon in my youth. By doing this, I hope to be able to sustain myself and replenish the well so I can continue to write and work consistently. The other part is that I renewed a commitment to artistry and craft and songwriting, and to make each decision in my career in a way that nurtures those ideals, rather than trying simply to manufacture a song just for the sake of it being a hit. Thats it for today.

I was thinking it was gonna be the typical bio-stuff.. but it contains snippets interview and is very up-to-date... quite a good read! here it is: Doing Things Her 'Way' By Chuck Taylor When singer/songwriter Jewel ventured into the studio for the first time in two years, she insists, she wasn't there to make a record. She was there to make music. "I had quit the business, really. I just wasn't sure I wanted to come back to the machine," Jewel admits. "I took a year off and then two years passed and finally I knew there were things I wanted to say. I had a very clear vision and was not willing to compromise." The resulting 14-track "This Way," which streets Nov. 13, showcases a less self-conscious, less polished Jewel. Most of her vocals were recorded live with musicians she found off the beaten track, giving her fourth Atlantic album a more personal, less trend-conscious bent with a vivid diversity of styles, from the expected pop and rock to country, folk, and some surprisingly strident rock. "This Way" has Jewel sharing production duties for the first time with co-producer Dan Huff. "My passion is in just doing something, not perfecting it when it's done," Jewel explains. "My records have always suffered because I hate singing to a wall, and I don't have patience -- or maybe the vanity -- to make them absolutely perfect. This time, I sang the vocals live with the band a few times and just picked the best. It allowed me to perform more as an artist than a scientist in the studio." First single "Standing Still," written by Jewel and Rick Nowles, is disobeying its title with a fast start on Billboard's Adult Top-40 chart, where it is No. 13 in its third week. The bright, midtempo pop number addresses simple desires ("Do you want me like I want you?") with an underlying message about taking forward steps in life. "I wanted the lyric to be smart but colorful and vibrant like a little movie in your head," Jewel says. "I like writing hooky songs that can be hits, but I like them to have a lyric that has another layer." Ron Shapiro, executive VP/GM of the Atlantic Group, says, "Because of her songwriting genius, Jewel always has a couple of different levels going on in her music. She really had a number of agendas on this record: to represent her diversity, to really have a hand in the whole process, and to mix songs of the heart with statements about important issues going on in the world. The project represents the difference between the girl of 18 that made 'Pieces of You' and the 27-year-old woman that she is today. She has recommitted herself to the music and has written songs that take you on a journey." Among the standouts are "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone," a classic rock-rooted, no-holds-barred jam that Jewel has performed live; the whimsical, bluesy "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometime"; the biting but luscious ballad "Break Me"; and the intimate, social commentary "Serve the Ego." The new album follows a non-stop whirlwind ignited when "Who Will Save Your Soul," the debut single from "Pieces," caught fire in 1995. It was encored by 1998's "Spirit," which spawned the signature hit "Hands," and the 1999 platinum Christmas collection "Joy." All the while, Jewel toured exhaustively; wrote two books -- the million-selling poetry collection "A Night Without Armor" and short story/essay text "Chasing Down the Dawn"; co-starred in the film "Ride With the Devil"; and backed various causes and charities, including her own Higher Ground for Humanity. She also was nominated for three Grammy Awards, graced the cover of Time, and moved 20 million albums worldwide, according to Atlantic. "I was really tired," Jewel says. "I just ran out of energy to go around and promote the way you need to. I barely had energy for shows. I was just sort of done." So she moved to a Texas ranch with boyfriend/rodeo champion Ty Murray for a much-needed break. This time around, Jewel vows to pace herself in a way "that won't use me up again." Atlantic started its marketing campaign with a quick, two-week U.S. promotional tour, with appearances booked on the late-night TV shows, MTV's "TRL," the My VH1 Awards Dec. 2, and a series of live radio Christmas shows in December. The international release of "This Way" will be staggered to space out Jewel's schedule. It won't hit racks in Europe and parts of Asia until February 2002. This year, in addition to the U.S., it will be issued in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Latin America. At retail, the forecast is optimistic, in part because of rekindled airplay of Jewel's sensitive "Hands" in the wake of Sept. 11. "It was unexpected, of course, but that put her back in people's minds," says Eric Keil, a buyer for the South Plainfield, N.J.-based Compact Disc World chain. "I think the public is in the mood for the kind of music that she makes -- plus, the first single is getting such a good reception at radio. That bodes well." Jewel also gives this work her personal stamp of approval. "It was important that this record feel less premeditated," she says. "I needed to have fun, be sensual, be raucous, and feel sassy. I'm a fairly mercurial person, and I'm glad I got that across on this record." ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V6 #547 ***************************
