I love 03;04. It's the first Jewel album I bought after POY and I just loved how it showed her diversity as an artist. It's not as if she stopped writing songs that had a point (Intuition, Stand, America) and Sweet Temptation could be on This Way. Yes U Can is a great dance track with a fantastic bassline and is absolutely loaded with irony ("Papa's got a brand new bag and Mama's got her hot-pants on), illustrating the seedier side of the club-scene.

There are so many artists out there that stick to the same formula and Jewel certainly (and thankfully) isn't one of them. ALl the great artists do experimental albums. For my money this is one experiment that paid off.

My copy is stuck (literally) in my car radio at the moment, which is maybe I'm so passionate about it!
