Jewel told Variety that she signed on to do “The Masked Singer” for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that it allowed her to maintain a work/life balance: “Being a single mom in the music business is really difficult” she said. “And so I’m always looking for opportunities that helped me creatively and allow me to be a mom. I thought this show really fit. It didn’t require so much of my time that it would disrupt my son’s life.
The Grammy-nominated artist will now release a covers EP of material performed on the show, titled, appropriately, “Queen of Hearts.” Her Queen of Hearts costume was also a nod to her name with its jewel-shape, while other clues touched on moments spanning her entire life. She mentioned growing up in a house that lacked warmth, a reference to her early upbringing at a cabin in Alaska. Then in a clues video, a reference to the tin man from “The Wizard of Oz” related to Jewel’s portrayal of Dorothy as part of 1995’s “The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True.
