a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
It's been a while since Julee Cruise became known as
the vocalist in David Lynch's truly odd TV series
"Twin Peaks". Her last record came out in 1993.
This
is a comeback even if Cruise has been busy since her
last album, appearing on records by Khan and touring
with the B52"s. The nightmarish yet dreamy sound of her
Lynch and Angelo Badalementi collaborations is gone,
replaced by a more loungey approach and a less waifish
vocal delivery.
"Falling in Love" is driven by techno-ish beats and
the repeated line "Falling in love for me is a form of
insanity". It's a deftly produced song.
The title track is a very cinematic song, evoking
images from the film noir genre with its shuffling
beats and chilled out vocal cooing by Cruise.
The soft bossa "Everybody Knows" is a perfect setting
for Cruise's gorgeous voice.
"Cha Cha in the Dark" is
quietly eerie and sweet all at once.
"Floating into the night" was a classic and Cruise has
a tough job trying to follow it.
She has succeeded by
daring to try a different style. "The Art of Being a
Girl" is a stellar effort.
