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
