Quest for LoveJEWELFor all the quality that Jewel delivered on current album "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland," her contribution to the soundtrack to family fantasy flick "Arthur and the Invisibles," due in theaters Jan. 12, is perhaps her most accessible single since "Foolish Games." So simple, stunningly melodic and delivered with utter ease, "Quest for Love" blossoms with a dazzling crescendo amid cool, jazzy organic instrumentation and lush harmonies. No doubt this song was tailored for radio playit is wholly mainstream but Jewel's fan base is in for the ultimate treat here. Her spectacular performance, meshed with a magnetic melody, should finally foster the chart-topping return of an artist in prime form.

The sultry country star who is currently in between labels, has decided to take on the bloated record industry by recording a video for $5,000 . (That'll teach them). "I'm going to continue my career by trying to make records that are affordable," the singer said. "I think records cost too much and have such a big burden that you can't make it back as an artist or as a label. I just made a video for $5,000 and filmed it on Super 8 on my ranch." If we understand Jewel language (and we think we do) she's saying that money has ruined the record industry. Perhaps going totally label-less and Super 8-ing it on one's ranch is a little extreme, but is there something to be said for the argument that artists should go back to basics? - -- Elizabeth Goodman ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V12 #5 **************************
