0304
Encyclopedia : 0 : 03 : 030 : 0304
0304 is the fourth album by singer/songwriter Jewel, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music). The album is considered Jewel's most mainstream accessible album to date.
Inspired by the surprise success of scoring a #1 hit on the club charts with her previous record This Way, Jewel made a radical departure from previous musical efforts and recorded 0304, a pop and club friendly record, void of anything "folk-like."
Singles include "Intuition," "Stand" and "2 Become 1."
0304 History
The 0304 ended up being Jewel's highest debuting album in her career, debuting and peaking at #2 on the Billboard 200. However, it was her lowest selling album of her career, too; the album went Platinum, selling 900,000. It had strong sales for the first few weeks but from there on, it slowed down considerably with time. The video clip for the first single, Intuition, featured a more "sexed up" Jewel, showing cleavage and wearing a white T-shirt sprayed with water, even though it was supposedly done in a "tongue in cheek" fashion.Many fans were disappointed that promotion for the record ended so soon after the success of lead single "Intuition." With the poor performance of follow up single "Stand," Atlantic Records rushed a third track "2 Become 1" to radio stations and refused to allow Jewel to film a video clip. The record sales fizzled away soon after Intuition left the charts. Many fans felt tracks like "Leave the Lights On" "Sweet Temptation," and "Yes U Can" could have been moderate hits. Instead the pop and club-oriented tracks on the record remain hidden gems.
