Jewel - 0304 flac album

0304 is the fourth album by American singer Jewel, released on June 3, 2003 by Atlantic Records. Inspired by the sudden success of scoring a number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart with "Serve the Ego"-the final single from her previous album, This Way-in early November 2002, Jewel decided to make a radical departure from her previous folk-oriented musical efforts and recorded a dance album.

Enhanced CD section of the album includes a Bonus Video of Making The Album. Recorded at Conway Studios, Hollywood, CA Mixed at Mix Star and Windmark Studios, Virginia Beach, VA Mastered at Sterling Sound, New York, NY. Published by: Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13 & 14 Wiggly Tooth Music/ EMI April Music In. ASCAP/ Apollinaire Music/ EMI Blackwood Music In. BMI Track 6 Wiggly Tooth Music/ EMI April Music In.

Within the liner notes to her fourth album, 0304, Jewel includes a note to her fans, explaining, "This album may seem different to you," which is putting it mildly. For a singer who has been making low-key singer/songwriter albums so unassuming that on her debut the two singles had to be re-recorded for mass consumption, it is a big shock to put on 0304 and hear that she has abandoned folkiness and adult pop to make her dance-pop album, of all things.

Picture it – it’s 2003, your last album was two years ago, and your record label is pushing you to make another breakthrough. That’s the situation Jewel was in when writing and recording 0304, a radical shift from her previous efforts in a vain attempt to gain popularity and appease Atlantic records for a couple of years to come. With Jewel stood on the album cover brushing her flawless blonde hair, dressed like an extra in a Missy Elliot video, fans of this folk-pop 90’s chick will surely be in for a surprise.
