The Voice of Love

Description

Twenty-five years after its initial release,Julee Cruise’ssophomore albumThe Voice of Loveis being issued for the first time on vinyl. It would mark the final full-length collaboration between Cruise,David Lynch, andAngelo Badalamenti. In 1994, after the release ofTwin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Lynch, Badalamenti, and Cruise returned to the studio with new compositions as well as the intent to craft previously instrumental score-based material fromFire Walk With MeandWild at HeartintoJulee Cruisesongs. The result was 1993’s final studio albumThe Voice of Love. “In the studio, David would always say [sing] like an angel…” Cruise remembers. In many ways, this quest for “angelic” was the seed that grew an entire genre out of the inability to utilize This Mortal Coil’s “Song to the Siren” forBlue Velvet. It’s eerie to ponder what might not have been had the song actually been within reach for that film. Fitting that all these years later,Twin Peaksconcluded on a similar question followed by Cruise’s performance of “The World Spins”: What happens if Laura Palmer was never murdered?
