Jewel’s First Country Single, “Stronger Woman,”

Rush Released to Country Radio Due to Overwhelming Demand!

Three-Time Grammy Nominee Will Nationally Debut Single

on ABC’s Good Morning America, Sunday, February 10th

Nashville, TN -- Due to overwhelming demand from Country Radio programmers who have already heard Jewel’s Country music debut, the self-written “Stronger Woman”, The Valory Music Co. announced today that they will rush-release the single to Country Radio immediately. The single will be released via the Play MPE digital media delivery system at 10 a.m. ET/ 9 a.m. CT on Thursday, January 17th.

One of the first Country programmers to hear “Stronger Woman” was Ken Boesen with WKIS/Miami. Boesen says, “The timing is perfect for Jewel to release a Country single! She came by the station and knocked us out and the single is a smash. WKIS listeners are very excited and so am I – welcome to Country music Jewel!”

“Jewel has made a strong commitment to Country Radio and is in the midst of an extensive radio tour,” says Jon Loba, Vice of President of Promotion and Artist Development. “The response to ‘Stronger Woman’ on these visits has been overwhelming. After many requests from stations to play this song early, we have decided to move up our digital release date. CD Singles will still not ship until January 22nd because we don’t have them in house just yet!”

“Stronger Woman” will be available exclusively at iTunes starting February 5th, and she will perform an exclusive acoustic version of “Stronger Woman” on ABC’s Good Morning America: Weekend Edition on Sunday, February 10th.

The single is set to officially impact Country radio on February 11th. Her highly-anticipated new album, “Perfectly Clear,” is scheduled for release on June 3rd ..

About Jewel

From the remote tundra of her Alaskan youth to the triumph of international stardom, Jewel has traveled a singular road as an acclaimed singer, songwriter, poet, actress and painter. The three-time Grammy nominee, hailed by The Times of London as "the most sparkling female singer-songwriter since Joni Mitchell," nevertheless remains a unique and authentic artist, exploring fresh musical avenues for more than a decade that have taken her from the simplicity of acoustic-driven folk to the embrace of rock, pop, country, blues, jazz and classical influences. To date, Jewel has sold over 27 million albums worldwide, enjoying career longevity rare among her generation of artists. Jewel recently completed a stint as the host of Nashville Star and is proud to be named an Ambassador for Richard Branson's charity Virgin Unite and its Re*generation initiative to fight against youth homelessness which has found her speaking on Capitol Hill. She was recently in the studio working on her own country-infused album with John Rich of Big & Rich and is ready to set out on tour. For more information, please visit www.jeweljk.com

The Valory Music Co., the sister label to Big Machine Records, was established in November 2007 with an initial artist roster that includes multi-platinum recording artist Jewel as well as Country Soul singer Jimmy Wayne and newcomer Southern Country stylist Justin Moore. The Valory Music Co.’s first release, Jewel’s Country music debut is slated for June 2008.
