Rolling Stone 報導 http://www.rollingstone.com/news/newsarticle.asp?afl=mail1&nid=17468 Jewel Gets Weird Singer-songwriting dabbling in new beats on upcoming album Even though Jewel only recently finished touring behind 2001's This Way, the singer has begun recording the follow-up, which she expects will be out in June. "I feel like records usually take too long," she says. "I wanted to do this right away." 雖然 Jewel 剛做完 This Way tour，她已經開始錄下一張專輯了，預計六月發行；她覺得專輯通常拖太久，她現在就想錄新歌 Jewel's sense of urgency comes from her interest in tackling timely subjects. Among the names checked in the new batch of songs: Pete Townshend, Roman Polanski, Jennifer Lopez and Charlie Sheen. "There's a lot of pop references," Jewel says. "Social commentary has always been a big part of my writing. And I know what I want to say to the world by summer. Beyond that I really can't say where politics is going to be, or culture." Jewel 的急迫感來自她喜歡處理發生在當下的題材，在她新寫好的歌曲中出現的人名就有 Pete Townshend, Roman Polanski, Jennifer Lopez 和 Charlie Sheen。Jewel 說歌曲中跟流行文化有很多關聯，我的歌曲中有很大的一部份是關於社會評論的，我也知道到了夏天的時候我想對世界說的話，除此之外，我實在不知道到時候政治或是文化會是啥樣子。 Though she says the new album is very "lyric-driven," she promises it will surprise a lot of her longtime fans musically. "This record's a really different record for me," Jewel says. "It's really a weird combination -- part dance, part hip-hop, part folk. It should be a really raw-sounding record. It sounds like me," she assures, "but you'll hear a lot of things in it." 雖然她說新專輯是以歌詞是重心所在，她也說旋律上會讓很多長年來支持她的歌迷感到驚訝，Jewel 說這張專輯對她來說是很不同的，專輯裡有嬉哈，舞曲，民謠，是奇異的組合，應該是張不完美的專輯，聽起來就像我，但是你會在專輯裡聽到很多東西 Jewel attributes the changes to her working with collaborators for the first time. "I'm writing with lots of people and having lots of fun," she says. "I'm not a very good guitar player, so by writing with other musicians, I can get things out that are in my head that I can't do with my hands." Jewel 把這些改變歸咎於第一次跟他人合作的結果，我跟很多人一起寫歌玩得很高興，我吉他彈得不是頂好，跟其他人合作我可以實現在我腦袋裡但是我自己彈不出來的東西。 Her primary collaborator and co-producer is arranger/producer/keyboardist, Lester Mendez, who has worked with Shakira, Enrique Iglesias and Carole King. "He's very, very talented and you'll be hearing a lot about him," Jewel says. 她最主要的合作夥伴是編曲家／製作人／鍵盤手 Lester Mendez，之前曾經跟 Shakira, Enrique Iglesias 和 Carole King 合作過， Jewel 說他非常非常的有才華，專輯裡有很多她的參與 Jewel, who starred in the 1999 Ang Lee film Ride With the Devil, is also planning a return to the big screen. "I'm producing a film called Waves, and there's a part for me in it," she says. "And I don't think it's signed yet, but I think Goldie Hawn will be making her directorial debut . . . I don't know if I was supposed to say that." 曾經演出李安導演的 Ride With the Devil 的 Jewel 也計劃再次參與電影的演出，”我正在製作一部叫做 Waves 的電影，也會演出一角，雖然還沒簽約，但是我想 Goldie Hawn 會首次出任導演，我不知道我是不是該透漏這個消息... ” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 210.85.171.34
