FHJGJSHGRUFIHS.
NEW JEWEL?!
Yayy.
January is a bit far away.
Well no it isn't but it's long when you're waiting for a Jewel song.
I hope the song does relatively good and brings her back into the public eye a bit more to make her upcoming country album a hit.
Quest For Love sounds very Goodbye Alice-ish. [the album]

I don't think so. They just co-wrote.

Is it anywhere? This is interesting. Is it anyway associated with Jewel's label? I guess this means GAIW is done though but I guess I didn't expect otherwise. I did say earlier this year that Jewel's only chance at getting a hit would be to do something soundtrack related. Depending on how this sounds and the success of the movie itself, it could help her.

Well, they did release 4 videos from it, even though 2 were strictly internet ones...
And yeah, this is from Atlantic still. I'm thinking that if it becomes successful they can safely release the Greatest Hits afterwards.

AND, the word is that it's in the run for a original song Oscar!!!! The song can't be in the running for next years Oscar unless the movie (and song) is released by Christmas Day in the US. It could be in the running for the 2008 Oscar by that's a little too early to call |

 Those are the nominations they are going for. Interesting that it says that Andrea wrote the song and Jewel just performs it, but I believe EMI a bit more. |

She didn't write it?
Hm.
I'm still excited to hear this, but Jewel's lyrics are definitely a major part of her music imo.

No, she did write it, along with Andrea Remanda. That postcard or something is wrong.

OMG can't wait. Although I wish that she should release at least one more song from GAIW.

Billboard reviews it: Quest for Love JEWEL Label: Atlantic For 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 play—it 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. —Chuck Taylor Exciting!! You can hear a sample of it here: music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?z=y&EAN=075679467522&itm=1But I still am not sure it's gonna be released to radio. Well, we'll wait and see. |

Her myspace mentions that she's doing Q4L I think. The song isn't on there though.

I saw her performance. The song is quite alright, a grower for sure. It's a very simple song, with a good message (very movie-oriented). Jewel delivered a more solid vocal performance this time, without going too girly, like she does sometime. She actually did some of her rocker voice. I like it, she took some chances during it. Her highest note was kinda weird. She chose to do a opera-like type of vocal and it didn't sound that good IMO, well, it sounded misplaced. Anyway, this could do something if released, much in the way of keep Holding On. I still haven't heard the studio version, so I can't talk about that...
