Jewel announces 25th anniversary editions of her second album ‘Spirit’

Jewel will mark the 25th anniversary of her multi-platinum second album ‘Spirit’ with expanded and remastered reissues, along with a vinyl release, via Craft Recordings.

Arriving on 17th November 2023, ‘Spirit’ will be reissued in 2-CD, digital and vinyl formats. The album features the hit single ‘Hands’ and fan favourite tracks ‘Down So Long’ and ‘Jupiter (Swallow the Moon)’. The digital and CD versions feature 23 bonus tracks including eight previously unreleased demos and outtakes, rare live performances from the era, alternate takes, remixes and more.

The vinyl release marks the first time ‘Spirit’ has been made available on vinyl since its initial release in 1998. Fans can get their hands on a black 2-LP set or a blue swirl edition, available exclusively via Jewel’s store. All editions are available to pre-order now at https://found.ee/jewel-spirit and ‘Hands (Studio Outtake)’ is available to stream.

Speaking to the 25^th anniversary of ‘Spirit’, Jewel says: “My sophomore album, ‘Spirit’, is 25! I still cherish this album and sing many of these songs during my shows, so I’m glad my fans can pick up new copies and hear some unreleased tracks, outtakes, and live recordings. I also get to share this with my son now – it’s incredibly special to tell him stories about what was happening in my life and the world during this time. Whether you heard ‘Spirit’ back then or are just discovering it now, I appreciate you listening.”
