Powerful, racy, liberating rock that’s good for your mental health and looks this complex world straight in the eye, this album is a real woman’s comeback.
A committed singer-songwriter, Jewly has a mission: to write albums that open up consciences and liberate them with a rock vibe that may be salvific for some, or salutary for others. Rebellion is a powerful concept album, half in French and half in English, tackling subjects such as mental health and societal issues. 10 tracks dealing with 5 themes, each approached from 2 ages and therefore 2 angles: the first: that of youth (tracks in French), the second: that of adults (tracks in English). Carried by a singular sound featuring hypnotic, subtle guitars – with Yarol Poupaud on guest guitar – her rich, percussive compositions set the stage for her feline, unsettling voice to speak to the soul. In a musical universe that echoes PJ Harvey and The Kills, with sounds close to Archive or Depeche Mode, Jewly, strong in her convictions, traces her path with elegance. This 4th album proves to be a concentrate of positive, unifying energy, tailor-made for live performance, the moment of truth when Jewly transcends herself because she has found “her place” there.

Jewly is one of those artists who, in a few seconds, transports and inspires you. Distilling a powerful rebel rock with touches of spicy blues and peppered with electro, her music will awaken your senses and stir your soul.
Release a concept album in 2020? You have to dare at a time when CDs are listened to randomly. But the concept imposed itself on Jewly from the very start when writing Toxic, her third album, committed and universal. And what strikes when you discover this album, is the singular rock sound, heady mix of guitars and synthetic vibes and the feline, assured voice that steps in with ease and elegance. If the lyrics are profound, the shape of the songs is catchy, nervous, prepped for live performances, often accompanied by a lingering threat…
Toxic is the path of life of a woman aged 4 to 37 who grows up facing toxic situations or people, which we could all, more or less, have been confronted with! The 10 track titles, when assembled, form a sentence, revealing her release and the album chronologically traces this ode to emancipation.
Toxic, written by Jewly and produced by Moon Pilot, has been recorded and mixed (analog) by Peter Deimel (DE) at the legendary Black Box studio with a remarkable team: Romain Lejeune (F) on guitar, Vincent Lechevallier (F) on drums (ref: Pony Pony Run Run, HollySiz,…), the violinist Richard Bourreau (F), the cellist Jean-Baptiste Noujaim (F) and guests like the guitarists Justin Adams (UK) (ref: Robert Plant, Sinead O’Connor,…), Axel Bauer (F), Pascal Danaë de Delgres (F) and Phil Spalding (UK) on bass (ref: Mick Jagger, Robbie Williams, Mike Oldfield…). Toxic has been mastered by Mike Marsh at The Exchange (UK).
Jewly has recorded “Drugstore” in England in the studio of the band “The Stranglers” with an Anglo-American team: Phil Spalding (UK) and Matt Backer (USA) as producers, Louie Nicastro as sound engineer and Dom Brown (Duran Duran) as guest.
10 CHARACTERS, 10 CLIPSThe titles of the tracks are ALL Christian names; the first names of real people who emotionally touched Jewly on her very personal and soul searching journey. More than just another album, “Drugstore” becomes a startling universe into which Jewly plunges us; a video clip has been made for each song, respectively revealing all the different characters who participate in HER very own Drugstore.
