With the release of her latest single, "Till It Feels Like Cheating" the crossover to country music is complete for Jewel. While the last two singles "I Do" and "Stronger Woman" both felt country at heart, they didn't have the complete country lyric and strains of steel guitar in the mix that is found here. John Rich's production is steady and there is actually a strong, classic country melodic undercurrent to the whole production. Jewel's vocal straddles the classic and contemporary quite nicely and the song really feels like it will be her break-out country hit.
Jewel - Till It Feels Like Cheating
Like Darius Rucker, the transition to country music from the pop/rock world has seemed more genuine for Jewel than it has for others. With this single Jewel may just have the song to cement her status as a hitmaker with the country audience.
