Thanks Chris!
I have firefox and it works fine for me. From a first listen Anyone But You and Til it Feels Like Chating sound awesome! Rosy and Mick sounds good too, very up tempo. Still not sure how I feel about 2 Become 1 being on this album. I like the song but would rather hear something new.

i love Thump thump and till it feels like cheating...not sure about rosy and mick though:))

[JewelWiki]

Thanks, Chris!

This is great! I've been checking Amazon and B&N everyday hoping one will post preview clips....didn't think to look at her Facebook!

[JewelWiki]

Yikes! Rosey & Mick sounds so weird...not a song I was expecting to be uptempo at all...

Anyone But You's got a lot of country in it

[simmadana]

OMG NO! Rosy & MICK! NOOOOOOOOOOOO......

eh.....I don't know how I feel. they all sort of run together

[BTMYH2005]

I've been waiting so patiently for this!! Today is a great day because of these clips. The album sounds great! The songs sound sooo country.. I love it!!

[kjm030584]

it sounds just about as good as i thought it would!

[ShawnShamrock]

That Is Awesome I am so glad "Rosy and Mick" got a little change i may grow to like that song.
"Love is a Garden" has an odd sounding sound to it but i like it..
I love "I do". "Anyone but you" sounds like it could be a nice ballad kinda single. "Thump Thump" Sounds like the skippable track or a really slow grower.
"Two become one" Does not soudn much different then 0304 version at all to me sounds kinda like they added a banjo and violin and it was much stronger on 0304. I don't think it would fair well as a single but i have to hear that whole song. "Til it feels like cheating" sounds like it would also be a rockin awesome single. "Everything" needs to be a single i just love that song. "Loved by you" is so-so. "Perfectly Clear" doesnt really seem to fit with the rest of the album.. Not sure what the deal is with "you were meant for me"
Hope she doesnt try to release a countrified version lol

OVerall from the previews the album sounds quite awesome..
0304 is still my favorite.. This could end up second

[JewelWiki]

I feel like her vocals on Anyone But You sound really good! At least in the clip...the way she sings...It sounds to me that for the first time Jewel's emotion made it through singing in the studio! I'm definitely excited for this album!

[Lara]

Anyone but you, Till it feels like cheating and thump thump are my favorites! I don't like the arrangement on rosy and mick... but maybe we should wait to hear the whole thing! so I'm still hoping it will sound better...

And i agree with you Jewelwiki, somehow you can feel the emotions on Anyone but you as if she was singing live...

[Sam78]

Wow--I'm actually a little encouraged.

Most of the songs to me sound like traditional Jewel with some country instrumentation thrown in, but that's alright.

TIFLC sounds like a great potential single, and ABY sounds like a solid country song that could potentially also be a single.

I'm still gagging at 2B1 being included, but it's her CD, not mine.

I agree with whoever said PC doesn't sound like it fits. I would have liked to have seen Violet Eyes in its place--not because they have anything to do with one another, but because I think it could fit on a country album better and is one of the best songs she's ever written IMO.

Am I the only one who likes what she did with R&M? I think it sounds like a single, whereas the ways we've heard it live haven't sounded radio friendly at all.

Also, the quality of YWMFM sounds a little off, so I suspect if it makes it onto the album it will be as a live, bonus track.

I just hope she abandons the idea of catering to the crap country/pop crossover market by releasing 2B1 as her next single and releases one of the several lyrical and melodic gems instead. There's a lot of quality to choose from here, and I hope Jewel takes a bolder chance. If not, what was the point of switching genres in the first place?

[JThisWay620]

wow I never thought I'd see the time where I wouldn't be buying a Jewel album. I love the vocals.... probably the best vocals on any Jewel. I love the lyrics from what I've heard. I HATE the instrumentation. Too much going on with all those strings and whiny sounds, and the tempos on some songs detract. "Rosey and Mick" does not sound like a song that should be up beat yet here it is on the album all pepped up? maybe next album Jewel...

[Romanos]

:sick::shuddercon: I couldn't disagree more with you! I hate the previews it's obvious not the best album of Jewel but I wouldn't want to know it as the worst one! Have you listened to Rosy & Mick?? how could a song like that be with a happy melody :BANGHEAD[1]: and all the old songs are better lives than in these previews but I wish I am totally wrong!!!! just the three that are in her official website are good for me but the others I just don't like them! but I agree with some of you about the vocals they're great but the instruments really yuck!:fraggle2:

[go_team_asia]

I hated Thump Thump live (which is strange because Jewel is better live in my opinion) but I actually think it is my favorite out of all the previews? I dunno about Rosey and Mick. I like the preview, I just don't think it will translate the passion and feeling of the original version, which is sad. I'm excited for I Do, Love Is A Garden, Two Become One (I'm a huge 0304 fan :) ) and Perfectly Clear. I'm not-so-patiently waiting for June 3rd.

[DreamsLast]

WOW, this is so awesome!!! Thanks so much for the link!

[Sam78]

Have you listened to Rosy & Mick?? how could a song like that be with a happy melody
Sure--I love the original, live R&M, but I also like it when Jewel mixes up her old stuff. To me, it still sounds sad, but also sounds almost rock, which is an effect I kinda like. I guess we'll see how the whole thing turns out...

[awiste]

I'm a huge fan of R&M. I was very surprised by this new version... I like it though. It feels very refreshing. I'm can't to hear the whole thing.

[IndianaEDA420]

OMG NO! Rosy & MICK! NOOOOOOOOOOOO......

eh.....I don't know how I feel. they all sort of run together

Feeling your pain....

[M€RIO]

I dont want to hear the tracks because i wait for the whole thing to come out..
But i cant wait any longer!!!!!!! ^^. I already downloaded that free mp3 of perfectly clear.. its amazing, so there are just two songs ore something i 0% dont know xD.
