NEW MUSIC: JEWEL | DANCING SLOW (FEATURING TRAIN)

Four-time Grammy-nominated, multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Jewel announces “Freewheelin’ Woman,” her first new studio album in seven years, due out on April 15 via her own Words Matter Music. Along with the announcement, the Alaskan native also shared her brand-new single, “Dancing Slow,” featuring Train, who she’ll join on their recently announced North American summer 2022 tour. Kicking off June 8 in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the tour makes 35-plus stops, including New York, Nashville, Dallas and San Diego, before concluding Aug. 6 at the legendary Red Rocks venue in Colorado, Jewel’s home state. The show visits locally, with concerts Saturday, July 9, at the Darien Lake Amphitheater, and Sunday, July 10, at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto. In sharing the new single, Jewel said, " "Dancing Slow" is ultimately about the ebb and flow of life and cherishing those moments of certainty that are shared when you’re with a trusted companion. It feels like time slows down for a moment. I'm so glad Train was able to join me on this track, with Pat Monahan's sweet vocals adding another layer to the melody." “Freewheelin’ Woman” finds Jewel working with producer Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Gavin DeGraw, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness), dreaming up a soulful and groove-heavy sound partly inspired by the classic R&B records made at Muscle Shoals. The new album "Freewheelin' Woman" serves as the follow-up to Jewel’s self-produced and critically praised 2015 album, “Picking Up the Pieces,”
