Jewel has been working on new music.
The busy artist has been recording tracks for her upcoming album. The singer announced Tuesday that her new album, Picking Up The Pieces, will debut September 11. The title of the record sounds like a continuation of her first album, Piece of You, which came out in 1995.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the record will debut via Sugar Hill Records, and Jewel herself produced the 14 tracks on the album. This could be Jewel's comeback in the music industry.
"This is just me. These are my thoughts. These are my feelings. This is my poetry,” said Jewel. “It really felt like returning to a part of me that I didn’t mean to lose, but with time and relationships and life and surviving and dealing, you take on new things and not all of them are great.”
“I was trying to keep my mind quiet and honestly get back to something I feel like I’d lost touch with in my life," the songwriter added. "It was really an exercise in shutting out fear. I was giving myself permission to be exactly who and what Iwas."
Jewel spoke about making the album earlier this year. “It’ll be a pretty simple raw folk album,” she explained. “It doesn’t have anything commercial on it. It’s a folk record, a singer-songwriter’s record. It probably won’t have a single. It’s very emotional.”
She also spoke about producing the tracks herself. Jewel's records were produced by the late Ben Keith. “I’m sad Ben isn’t here to be on it with me, but I used a lot of the crew from Pieces of You. If you like incredibly non-commercial folk music, you might like it.”
Jewel, who divorced Ty Murray in 2014, also wrote a memoir, Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half The Story, which will be released September 15.
