i want to chime in for julia fordham who i "discovered" when she released
her first cd in the mid-80s. she is hard to categorize and so,
genre-loving a&r people have a hard time pigeonholing her type of music. i
don't have much of a problem with musical styles as one tends to look for
certain elements of a "style" in a record and may come out disappointed.
in manila, julia's classified before as "new age" music and only later was
she in the convenient radio formats called adult contemporary. she
was reviewed as sounding "from joni mitchell to cleo laine by way of annie
lennox" in her debut album. she has this deep voice (contralto) and she is
one of my top 5 songwriters/singer.
she sings her own songs and occasionally sang others (`someone to watch
over me' in MR HOLLAND'S OPUS soundtrack).
she released the following albums:
julia fordham - contains her famous `invisible war' and `happy ever after'
porcelain - schubert-like arrangements; ineffably affecting
swept - contains `love moves in mysterious ways' from THE BUTCHER WIFE
falling forward - a collection of heartbreaking songs captured in moments
east-west - those who listen to her `more than i can bear' and `goodbye i
love you' must have a heart made of stone. :)
