GOOD DAY - JEWEL
The second single from Jewel’s effervescent “Goodbye Alice in Wonderland” shows yet another side of the versatile folk/pop/rocker, with an autobiographical yet identifiable lyric about searching out the positive in our daily lives. “Good Day” opens with a feather-light vocal musing of dissatisfaction (”It’s nice to see people can be/More messed up than me”) before Jewel decides at the chorus, “It’s gonna be alright/No matter what they say/It’s gonna be a good day,” with melodic guns blazing. The song is accompanied by a clever “Wizard of Oz”-esque black-and-white-to-color videoclip (thanks, YouTube) that could help bring mass-appeal triumph to this track. Meanwhile, clubs are having their own party with new mixes of CD track “Only One Too.” Billboard
