Jewel is the second studio album by American singer Marcella Detroit, and her first since leaving band Shakespears Sister.

Aaron Badgley from AllMusic gave the album a retrospective mixed review, saying "The CD sounds formulaic and overproduced by Chris Thomas.

"[1] Johnny Huston of Entertainment Weekly also gave Jewel a mixed review, stating "Branching away from her work with Shakespear's Sister, her solo debut Jewel suffers from drab Motown and Sly Stone covers and from a Godfather of Soul impression that's more embarrassing than subversive.

[6][7] In 2005, the song was covered by German singer Joana Zimmer as her debut single, and was more successful in some territories than the original.

In 2014, Detroit independently released a compilation of the original demos recorded for the album.
