Editor's note

Jewel, from Alaska folk to pop and back

A singer-songwriter whose personal, acoustic-driven songs have spanned decades and styles.

For a sense of her early, acoustic feel, start with 'Who Will Save Your Soul.' Later, something like 'Nicotine Love' shows how she's kept that personal touch across styles.

Jewel's debut album 'Pieces of You' in 1995 introduced songs like 'Who Will Save Your Soul' that felt direct and unpolished, connecting with listeners through plainspoken emotional themes. She's kept writing from personal experience, addressing topics like mental health across albums from 'Spirit' to 'Picking Up the Pieces.' Even with shifts between folk and pop, her catalog, including tracks like 'Nicotine Love' and holiday songs like 'Ave Maria', has maintained a consistent, engaged audience.

She grew up in Homer, Alaska, writing songs as a teenager before catching attention with 'Pieces of You.' Over time, she released albums across different styles, from 'Spirit' in 1998 to 'Picking Up the Pieces' in 2015, while mostly performing as a solo act.
