专辑介绍

由传奇制作人Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin、Barbara Streisand、Bette Midler & Chaka Khan)为Jewel担纲,企图带给世界更多欢愉的全新耶诞歌曲大选,她除了以完全个人化的语调轻快或柔缓的诠释人们早已耳熟能详的耶诞节必备曲如Joy To The World、Silent Night、Winter Wonderland、Little Town Of Bethlehem....,也将“Spirit”专辑中首支单曲Hands处理成节庆味浓厚的曲式,加强弦乐后的Hands展现了与原曲大异其趣的聆听感,而Ave Maria这首传统耶诞曲也被处理成展现Vocal的悦耳圣曲,另外Jewel匠心独具的将经典黑人灵歌Tell It On The Mountain、 “Spirit”专辑中的Life Uncommon及著名女歌手Bette Midler 90年全美亚军曲From A Distance等3首歌合成一首绝妙的福音组曲Medley。

圣诞节的氛围应该是家人团聚一堂、充满喜悦、小孩们嘻嘻哈哈声不绝于耳的景象,而最适合这场景的正是Jewel这张拥有13首耶诞曲的Joy A Holiday选辑,不只带给你愉悦的假日,也将让你获得心灵上的满足。

Joy: A Holiday Collection may surprise some Jewel fans, since it isn't a warm, intimate acoustic album. Then again, it may not, since it arrives on the heels of the exquisitely produced, unabashedly pop Spirit, which had lush musical backdrops for her folk-pop tunes. Joy is a full-bodied expansion of Spirit, however -- an unashamed classicist Christmas album, featuring all of the usual carols delivered with strings and choirs. Because Jewel has a big, powerful, attractive voice, Joy works, even if it is a little too predictable for its own good -- the closing "Christmas Version" of "Hands" is the only true signal, musically at least, that this is a Jewel number. Surely, this holiday album isn't a major addition to her catalog, but for hardcore fans, it may be a nice stocking stuffer.
