Who was Julee Cruise?
Julee Cruise, the artist whose ethereal music added to David Lynch’s work’s drama, died at the age of 65.
Cruise, who was born in Iowa in 1956, first worked with Lynch in 1986 for his film Blue Velvet, which featured her Badalamenti duet Mysteries of Love. In 1990, she co-starred with Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern in David Lynch’s avant-garde theatre play Industrial Symphony No 1 as The Dreamself of the Heartbroken Woman.
Cruise’s deceptively pure and innocent delivery has inspired a strong cult following to her songcraft. In 1990, she noted, that technically, the song was so delicate that just singing it was a problem. However, it also allowed her to be more dramatic and manic than if she was simply singing ‘Oh, baby, baby’ into the microphone. One can’t overact some things when you’re singing.
