For some time, Judie Tzuke has secretly harboured a desire to branch
out from her niche as the blonde girl who sings weepy ballads. And
although she's managed it with this, her 13th studio album, the
exquisite 'Queen Secret Keeper' achieves the objective without
compromising artistic integrity or the selling short of existing fans.
The main difference is the extremely subtle addition of drum-loops, something that she dipped a toe into with her last studio album, 1998's 'Secret Agent'. But don't run away with the notion that Miss Tzuke has sold out to the dance music devil; the grooves added to 'Don't Look Behind You', 'All Of Me', and 'One Minute' (the latter originally appearing on last year's 'Six Days Before The Flood' live album) are completely discreet, embellishing each composition instead of being its driving force.
Traditionalists need not despair, however, as 'Indian Giver' and the stunning 'Drive', are among the majority of songs that retain the shimmering fragility of Judie's past.
