专辑简介：
Stephen Thomas Erlewine评论
七年前，朱厄尔以回归基本的《收拾残局》重新开始了她的职业生涯，她宣布自己是一个自由的女人，制作了一张热情洋溢、不拘一格的专辑。尽管这张唱片确实有一些安静、反思的时刻，让人想起了她民间的开始，但《Freewheelin’Woman》植根于灵魂，并向流行音乐延伸，迅速穿过所有分隔风格的小路。朱厄尔在这里唱了很多关于心碎的歌，但这张唱片从未显得沉重或悲伤。以“与你的记忆共存”为例，这是黄金肌肉浅滩R&B中的一个黄铜色的练习：她巧妙的解释是，记忆比任何男人都更爱她，更爱她。朱厄尔并不总是开玩笑。《不再流泪》（Lost in America主题曲）是2018年一部关于无家可归的纪录片的国歌，而不是1985年阿尔伯特·布鲁克斯（Albert Brooks）经典喜剧中的栗子，正如忧郁的哀歌《当你爱我的时候》一样。这些时刻在一张专辑中起到了质感和色彩的作用，这张专辑将《舞唱笑爱》的情感铭记于心：这是一种明亮、欢快的自我赋权，既有感染力，又有积极性。
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Seven years after rebooting her career with the vaguely back-to-basics Picking Up the Pieces, Jewel declares she’s a Freewheelin’ Woman, making an ebullient, eclectic album to match. Although the record does have a couple of quieter, reflective moments reminiscent of her folky beginnings, Freewheelin’ Woman is anchored in soul and stretches out toward pop, moving quickly through all the byways separating the styles. Jewel sings about heartbreak a fair amount here, yet the record never seems heavy or sad. Take “Living with Your Memory,” a brassy exercise in prime Muscle Shoals R&B: her clever spin is that the memory loves her stronger and longer than any man ever could. Jewel doesn’t always indulge in a joke. Presented here as a duet with Darius Rucker, “No More Tears (Theme from Lost in America)” — an anthem for a 2018 documentary about homelessness, not a chestnut from the classic 1985 Albert Brooks comedy — is as earnest as she ever gets, as is the melancholy lament “When You Loved Me.” These moments function as texture and color on an album that takes the sentiment of “Dance Sing Laugh Love” to heart: it’s a bright, cheerful bit of self-empowerment that is as infectious as it is positive.
