Review title: can be barely called 'an experiment...'
Product review: What Jewel refers to as "organic beats such as hand-clapping" are actually middle-eastern foundation beats that you will find in almost any middle-eastern pop song and even some mediterranean songs. I think this musical attempt stands out there without a soul due to the fact that Jewel neither readily admits nor understands these middle-eastern influences and thus fails to integrate that into her music rather than simply replicating it. while it's nice to see Jewel taking a new direction, the songs on this album lack originality in sound and arrangements. And it's not just the hand-clapping, but the arrangements of the semi-orchestra in songs like "Intuition" sound eastern mediterranean and middle-eastern, too. When I first heard "Intuition," I thought I was listening to the English version of a Turkish song... or Arabic... or possibly Greek... but not "organic" as Jewels dismisses it.
