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

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.
