Spirit.
Spirit is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Jewel, released in 1998 by Atlantic Records. Singles include "Hands", "Down So Long", and a newly recorded version of "Jupiter", followed by a remix of "What's Simple Is True" to promote Jewel's debut film Ride with the Devil. In addition, a one-track CD containing a live version of "Life Uncommon" was released to music stores in hopes to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. Spirit debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 with 368,000 copies sold in its first week. It eventually sold 3.7 million units in the U.S. - WIKIPEDIA

Spirit is a stronger, more listenable album than its predecessor, much of the awkward charm of Pieces of You has been removed -- which means that even if she appeals to the same audience as before, some of her initial fans may find that she's now a bit too slick in her attack to truly connect.

Spirit, is usually too limp to be particularly painful.

Jewel's second album, "Spirit," is, as its title signals, less "everyday," more ethereal than both "Pieces of You" and "A Night Without Armor," a collection of poetry the singer published earlier this year. "Spirit" is also less powerful than those efforts: It offers godliness without grit.

Jewel truly has brought topical folk songs into the modern age: She makes complacent rabble-rousers.
