Our Take

Julie London's "About The Blues" album is a sultry, smooth journey through the realms of heartache, longing, and late-night whisky-fuelled confessions. London's velvety vocals caress each track with a warmth that could melt even the coldest of hearts.

From the brooding opener "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to the melancholic sway of "Lonely Night in Paris," London encapsulates the essence of the blues with a finesse that few can match. The stripped-back arrangements allow her voice to take centre stage, weaving tales of lost love and shattered dreams with an intimacy that is both captivating and heartbreaking.

The standout track "Cry Me a River" is a masterclass in emotional delivery, with London's vocals dripping with pain and longing. The hauntingly beautiful "I'm in the Mood for Love" sees her effortlessly glide through the melody, exuding a sensuality that is sure to send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "About The Blues" is a timeless classic that showcases Julie London at the peak of her powers. It's a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike, a perfect soundtrack for those late nights when you're feeling a little blue. Trust me, you won't be able to resist falling under London's spell.
