Jewel - Pieces of You

[Deleted]

Pieces of You is Certified 12× Platinum for shipments of 12 million copies in the U.S., making it one of the best selling debut albums of all time. Probably with Alanis Morissette's JLP.

I love Jewel but this is not my favorite album! In fact, it is the one I least love, not counting her country tries...
But, it contains what is for me the most beautiful song in English language - Foolish Games ( but radio version)

Who Will Save Your Soul
Foolish Games
and
You Were Meant For Me

were singles of the album

Peak position: # 4 on Billboard 200

What a fantastic album, I always appreciated it even though most of it is so simple and basic.

Foolish Games probably one of the best songs of the 1990s...

Incredible album. So raw, filled with emotions. Soundtrack of my teenage years, it will always have a special place in my heart.

Even though this album is probably more in line with music I like than her others to a large degree, I only really like about half of them. I love Jewel and considered her within my favourite artists for over a decade but I never really got how this was as big as it was beyond the singles, all of which I love. Certainly I never complained because it's always good when an album as raw as this does well, and the production on the album is extremely minimal, especially since half or most of it was recorded with an audience.

Other than the singles, I do love Morning Song, Little Sister, Near You Always, I'm Sensitive and Adrien. Though I do wonder whether my opinion on the album would be different from the get-go had I first listened to it when I was older than when I was 13.

The ballads on this album are some of my favorite songs of this decade.
