The story was basically just about how she's presenting a sexier new image, but "is there more than meets the eye!?"... hahaha... cheesy as hell... .anyway. They had an interview with a Z100 DJ who basically explained the "parody", and while she didn't think it was specifically directed at Britney and Christina... it was definitely a jab at the music industry. Nice to see a piece that actually brings up the irony of it, rather than just focussing on the "sexy new image"... although they did a bit! :) Actually they showed clips from WWSYS juxtaposed with clips from Intuition. Amazing to think it's the same gal! Steve. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 May 2003 09:44:13 -0400 From: PinkFleshyHeart@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Bearsville\EDA campout this summer?

Hi, Intuition is doing quite good on the Swedish radiostation RIXFM! They played it this morning and before they play it the dj said: Okay, now I'm gonna play a new and fresh song. This is a very very good song! Intuition with Jewel... after the song the dj said again that this is a very very good song! I like it alot! The boss was shaking his ass before... haha... we should definitely play this song more!! This is a good sign! Maybe this song will be the Summer song of 2003 here in Sweden! =)=) But it is quite dangerous... often Summer hit artists became one hit wonders... */Marcus Ngo _____________________________________________________________ Hdr bvrjar internet!

I cant believe she was down here this morning! It's strange though, cuz it's not on her calendar, and it wasn't in any Jewel link. I wish I would have known about it...it sounds like they had a fun interview, and I would have loved to hear what she said....ah well guess ill just have to go up to NYC this weekend....if anyone heard the interview, please let me know what they talked about. Also, i know many ppl have asked questions about the concert this weekend but gotten no response. Has anyone been to one of these things before. I know its free, but do we need tickets? If so, where do we get them from? How hard is it to get a seat up close?

In Jewel's case, people just seem to be wondering why. The once folksy singer/songwriter has done a complete 180 in style and sound. Gone are the guitars and granola of her first few albums, traded in for a high-gloss, highly commercial dance-pop groove. The Marc Klasfeld-directed video for her first single, "Intuition," from her cryptically named fifth album, 0304, is as commercial as the music - you might say deliberately so. It substitutes the ubiquitous "Jewel" brand in place of recognizable logos for soda, beer, jeans, sneakers, even a certain music video channel's video request program. Is it a calculated move to put Jewel in Britney and Shakira's shoes, or is it more of a sendup of what it takes to get those shoes to fit in the first place? The clip is a parody "of rap videos, of runways, of pop culture," Jewel said Friday morning on NBC's "Today" show. But by that afternoon, she had changed her tune for "TRL," a program more likely to encourage her new look. Wearing a bow-tied tank top, fatigue pants, heels and a bouffant hairdo seemingly inspired by a combat-prone Gwen Stefani, Jewel said she "just wanted to have fun." "Spoofing it, I'm not doing," Jewel said. "It's more about the fact that I am a person who is sold as a product. I'm comfortable with that. It's my job. If I wanted to not make a living at this, I could just move to Alaska and write songs in a cabin. ... I'm driven and motivated to do what I do every day, and at the same time I can't help but giggle and go, 'Holy sh--, look what I'm a part of.' It isn't all a spoof, it's not even a parody, it isn't all making fun of it." A cousin on some level to Madonna's "Material Girl," Jewel's "Intuition" seems to tackle consumer culture and society's expectations of womanhood in one fell swoop, though the meaning might be lost in the shock of hearing a Jewel singing over a dance groove. While the song partly stabs at the commodification of culture, the ultimate message is not to let the culture govern you. "We don't even know what we feel at all [anymore], we're always asking somebody else," Jewel said. "You're looking in magazines and you're looking at TV to figure out how to behave, to the point where you're almost in danger of losing your natural instincts and losing your intuition, losing your ability to make your own decisions. Intuition is a really elusive, fragile thing." One line in the song getting a lot of attention is "Miss J's big butt is boss/ Now Miss Moss can't find a job." "A lot of people have taken that lyric like I'm insulting somebody, and I'm not," Jewel explained. "I'm talking about fads with human flesh, the fact that it used to be that Kate Moss' body type was really desirable, and I know so many girls were starving themselves. I don't think she starved herself to be that way, that's how she's built, but now it's J. Lo and her voluptuousness, and we're able to embrace that. ... That's fantastic. But it's [about] trends, fads and trying to have kids question it, know what they're buying into and not be hard-pressed to try to force your [body] type to be another one." The same might be said for forcing your musical style into another one, but Jewel insisted that her evolution wasn't a sudden jump taken lightly. Apparently she's been interested in what she calls "hip-hop dance folk" for a long time but found it difficult to undertake. Plus, she was warned against it by people who heard her describe it. "People were like, 'That sounds awful, that sounds like a pickle-and-peanut butter sandwich - bad idea, don't do it,' but it interested me," she said. "And my fans ... have seen me do classical music, jazz, dance, they've even seen me yodel, so I think it will make sense to them." Much of the rest of 0304 does sound at least lyrically like the old Jewel fans knew, despite being dressed up in dance beats. Folkies deterred by the over-the-top "Intuition" still might enjoy love songs like "Run to You," "Leave the Lights On," "To Find You" and "Sweet Temptation." There, music is a bit closer to the coffeehouse than the clubs, with simple beats and slight grooves more reminiscent of Mirwais, Poe or Radiohead than what could've been employed by her collaborator, Lester Mendez, who's known for his work with Shakira and Enrique Iglesias. Still, if this electronic turn and new look aren't a marketing ploy, why did she already partner with a women's razor (Schick's new wet shaver, not coincidentally named Intuition), co-promoting each other in a cycle that makes it difficult to determine which came first - the single or the product? "I'm here to make my label money," Jewel said. "The reason they do keep me around is because I do make them money, and at the same time I try to do that by being an artist and by being a lyricist. Being able to exist like that in this culture is a phenomenon, one I'm always amazed at, one I'm always looking at, one I'm always questioning and examining." The newly realized "product" known as Jewel releases her actual product, 0304, on June 3.

Exactly what I think a lot of us have been trying to say...I happen to love the new album stuff, just as much as I love the old stuff...like she said, we've seen her do all sorts of genres; from "V12 Cadillac" to "Food Stamp Love" to "Chime Bells" to "Intuition," Jewel seems to cover all musical ground.

Runway models are still as thin as ever, and so are a majority of movie and tv actress. There are plenty of real examples of pop culture's fickle fans. Why these two gals? Maybe Jewel really wanted to use the "Miss J's big butt is boss" line and liked the internal rhyme Kate Moss gave. Or maybe it's Jewel's wishful thinking that only voluptuous women can be popular now . . . maggie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 May 2003 20:24:07 +0000 From: "Lauren Bennett" Subject: [EDA] YAY!!!!
