First published 2003
This collection presents Jewel's complete fourth album, a musical journey that weaves together dance rhythms, urban beats, folk melodies, and pop sensibilities. The All Music Guide praised this work as a sheer pleasure to experience and called it her finest music to date. The album features fourteen tracks that showcase this genre-blending approach, anchored by the popular single "Intuition." From "America" to "U and Me=Love," each song demonstrates Jewel's evolution as an artist willing to explore new sonic territories while maintaining her distinctive voice. The collection spans intimate folk-influenced pieces like "Fragile Heart" and "Leave the Lights On" alongside more rhythmic offerings such as "Run 2 U" and "Sweet Temptation." Songs like "Stand" and "Yes U Can" reveal an empowering thread running through the work, while tracks such as "2 Find U" and "2 Become 1" explore themes of connection and unity. This piano/vocal/guitar arrangement makes all fourteen songs accessible to musicians and fans alike.
