Jewel, Madi Diaz, and Jensen McRae span three generations of folk music, each bringing their own perspective to the genre’s rich tradition of storytelling. In the latest episode of ELLE’s 'Three Generations,' the Grammy-nominated icon, the boundary-pushing songwriter, and folk’s rising voice sit down for a candid conversation on the courage and vulnerability it takes to translate lived experience into song. Watch as Jewel reflects on the backlash and breakthroughs that came with her early success, Madi opens up about pushing beyond love songs in the name of creative freedom, and Jensen shares how co-writing and community shape her evolving approach to songwriting. Together, they challenge the ideas of genre, storytelling, and artistic “rules,” proving that folk music is expansive and unable to be pinned down.
