Release date: August 20, 2002
Since crooning the swooning “Mysteries of Love” in David Lynch’sBlue Velvet in 1985, and revising her ethereal approach forTwin Peaks, Julee Cruise has been the chanteuse who can bring you to your knees with a whisper. Throughout her third collection, her first since 1993, the vocals float like a ghost. Her disembodied delivery, coupled with delicate beats and icy bossa nova flourishes, results in abstract musical textures as spooky as they are seductive. The chilly outer-space samba of “You’re Staring at Me” and the dreamy exotica of the title tune seem to melt in your head. And she hasn’t forgotten her Lynchian roots: On the epic finale, “The Fire in Me,” she reprises theTwin Peaks theme, “Falling.”Girl is an enchanting spell that is utterly unbreakable.
