Perfectly Clear

"Perfectly Clear" is the First Country Album and the 7th album from Pop singer Jewel. Jewel started to record tracks for the album before she released "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" in 2006.

First Single
The First Single from the album will be "Stronger Woman". The single is set to officially impact Country radio on February 11th, 2008. Jewel's new song flew up the iTunes Chart and peaked at #7 within the first three days of being released. It has since dropped out of the iTunes Top 100, but is expected to rise again with the release of the video and then again with the release of the album.

Video
The video for stronger woman started shooting February 13, 2008. Jewel explains on her myspace blog that the directors, at first, wanted the video be about a man treating a woman badly. Jewel insisted the song has nothing to do with the concept. Jewel says, "To me, the song is about a woman finding her self worth and satisfaction. It's not about being a victim of a guy that you let treat you poorly. It's about finding strength in yourself to have the life and relationship you want for yourself.... and that if where you are makes you unhappy, then fixing yourself and getting what you need - demanding that from yourself." She goes on saying the video uses visual metaphors to portray how woman have in effect been responsible for binding and restricting themselves.

Jewel describes what the video will be like, "We will see 4 women from different areas and time periods, and there will be close ups of what they do to bind themselves - like a geisha with tiny bound feet tittering elegantly on tiny shoes- or a Victorian woman being cinched into a hourglass corset, or a middle Eastern woman in beautiful colorful veils, with nothing showing but her exotic eyes...(each of these women will look sexy and beautiful and may even make you want to try on a corset, because it is so undeniably aesthetically pleasing)....and there will be me, singing in front of a microphone with carry-overs from each of these fashion "binders" like high stiletto heals, and a metal corseted belt, and so on. Then slowly I start to undress myself of each of these things - take off the glittery earrings, take off the bracelets, take off the corset, step out of the shoes. And you will see each of these women "un-do" themselves - the corset strings showing a hint of flesh, the hair of the geisha cascading down her back like a silky black waterfall, the veil lifted to reveal a sumptuous Persian mouth. All these women seem impossibly sexier in the natural form...and it will end with me, barefoot now, in a simple slip dress, hair down, playing guitar, uninhibited- a stronger woman."
