Again and Again
JEWEL Producer(s): Rob Cavallo, Jewel Label: Atlantic (CD promo) Jewel's fans may have had a jolly time with previous ?ber-pop effort "0304," but critics accused her of selling out, and consumers were ultimately indifferent. After a healthy three-year break, the honey-voiced singer/songwriter returns to more organic roots. "Again and Again" is consummate Jewel, beautifully composed and not in the least self-conscious in light of her more recent challenges at radio. So while the goods are undoubtedly in the bag, the tougher challenge will be getting Atlantic to back an artist who was once a priority?when most of her proponents have since left the label. Adult top 40, meanwhile, should be paving a pathway in gold for Jewel's return. From the upcoming "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland," her sixth album, due May 2. ?Chuck Taylor http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/reviews/sin...t_id=1002115317

Sounds like a really good review.
Hope others will be as kind, and hopefully Jewel will go back to being on top like she deserves!!
