Love, Julie
Review by William Ruhlmann

Julie Andrews' first solo album in five years began life as a private project. Andrews recorded a group of happy love songs accompanied by keyboard player Bob Florence as a birthday present for her husband, film director Blake Edwards, who turned 65 on July 26, 1987. He suggested she seek commercial release for the collection, and she did, albeit on the small independent label USA Music Group. On it, she sings classic pop standards by Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, and others, as well as such then-recent film songs as "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" and "Nobody Does It Better." The accompaniment ranges from solo acoustic piano to something approaching synth pop/rock; the latter is not exactly a style usually associated with Andrews, but she brings it off, even if it will sound odd to many of her fans. At age 52, she is still in good voice, and she brings sincerity and taste to her interpretations. Despite the occasional electronic sounds, this is a very warm and intimate record that would make an excellent Valentine's Day or anniversary present.
