Judie Tzuke

Under the Angels . . .
(Big Moon BM 001)

JUDIE TZUKE has bravely taken to running her career as a cottage industry. The English singer with a voice like cool honey enjoyed a peak of popularity with her 1979 hit single Stay With Me Till Dawn, which was followed by a string of Top 20 albums.

Now she has started her own mail-order record label and, as well as being the principal artist, it seems she is also head of press and promotions and chief packer. As a result, Under the Angels ... is available from PO Box 347, Weybridge KT13 9WZ or on the Internet at http://www.bogo.co.uk/pax/

However, anyone who imagines that musical corners may have been cut in the process will be pleasantly surprised. Tzuke seems to have poured herself into the task, heart and soul. Whether expressing regret and even extreme bitterness, as on I Never Liked the Way you Looked, or in the grip of an emotional panic attack (Without Love), there is a simple honesty about her words that complements the soft-focus arrangements of her lullaby rock songs.
