The Voice of Love is the second album by American dream pop singer Julee Cruise. It was released on October 12, 1993.




Background and content


Some of the songs on the album were taken from previous David Lynch productions. "Up in Flames" had previously appeared on Lynch's 1990 musical play Industrial Symphony No. 1; "Questions in a World of Blue", an instrumental version of "She Would Die for Love", and an instrumental version of "The Voice of Love" were all included in the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which was also directed by David Lynch and in which Cruise makes a brief appearance. An instrumental version of "Kool Kat Walk" appeared in Lynch's 1990 film Wild at Heart.




Critical reception



In Spin, Ann Powers described The Voice of Love as an exercise in "mood" over "personality" and wrote, "A few moments on The Voice of Love aim for innovation, but generally, Cruise and her shapers remain true to their original plan: to make truly haunting music." Retrospectively, AllMusic critic Ned Raggett summarized it as "a continuation more than anything else" of Cruise's debut album Floating into the Night, finding that it "stands alone just fine" as "another mysterious, dreamy float through a hazy post-'50s/post-punk mood zone."
