Judie Tzuke, real name Judie Myers, is an English singer who started her musical career at the age of 15 singing in clubs.
It was in 1975 that she released her first Single "These are the laws", a Single that she performed in duet with Mike Paxman and which was released with the band name "Tzuke & Paxo".
The two-man adventure ended in 1977 when she signed with Elton John's label, The Rocket Record Company. Her first solo Single "For you" was released in 1978 but it was a year later, in 1979, that she reached the top of the charts with the release of "Stay with me till dawn", co-written with… Mike Paxman. It is a huge success in all Anglo-Saxon countries.
Single from his first album "Welcome to the cruise".
A year later in 1980 released the album "Sportscar" which did even better in terms of ranking in the charts than the previous one. But whose only Single "Living on the coast" will not meet the same fervor as "Stay with me till dawn".
In 1981 the album "I am the Phoenix" was released, which had an honorable career, but nothing more. No better in 1982 with the album "Shoot the moon", the 3 Singles of which did not do much better.
It was not until 1983 that she returned to more or less success thanks to the Single "Jeannie N°", taken from the album "Ritmo".
The year 1984 saw the release of the Single "You", followed in 1985 by "I'll be the one", "Love like fire" and "This side of heaven", extracts from the album "The cat is out" . All relative successes.
All the other albums that will come out later will not do much better. Until 2004, when the singer will rise from her ashes with the magnificent and bewitching "Like the sun".
This will not prevent the singer from continuing the adventure during the years that will follow by offering titles of more than certain quality...

Tracks :
1977...from the first title the potential of this young singer is obvious. It remains to be seen what she will do with this famous potential...
1978... the style as well as the sound works very well and it is clear that this young artist will inevitably end up producing THE title that goes well...
1979...an extraordinary voice, which literally floats in the air and which gives this piece a lyricism of incredible depth. Here it is THE famous title that will change everything and propel her to the front of the stage in a sensational way. HU-GE !
1979... this title will be unable to compete with its predecessor as she has set the bar high. But what is certain is that the singer's career could not have started in a better way...
1980...a beginning of a new decade that definitely rhymes with softness and finesse. A niche in which the singer will really excel and this whatever the years or the decades …
1980...she excels in the 'emotional' register but that will not prevent her from attempting an incursion into the field of Dance. Bet lost so far...
1981... what begins to penalize her more and more is that she very rarely leaves her Intimist comfort zone. She will have to ask herself the right questions and quickly...
1981...she mustn't forget that this 80s decade is essentially Dance and that she will have to diversify her repertoire in one way or another, willingly or by force as they say...
1982 ... the tempo finally accelerates. Like an aftertaste of Fleetwood Mac ... We are already more in tune with the times
1982 ... a totally supercharged 1982 year. After a totally Intimist year 1980, this year 1982 will be its exact opposite. The singer has at least the merit of offering us another facet of her talent ...
1982...luckily the albums work well in the Charts because on the Singles side it's rather dull. It's hard to understand, but it's true...
1983 ... she returns timidly but surely in the Charts on the Singles side. It was time because we were seriously starting to wonder...
1983 ... everything has evolved in an impressive way ... The sound, the style, the look. Total mutation ! And it works pretty well !
1983 ... ahhh, this couldn't last. The tempo slows down again ... This time, it's a gentle force ... Or rather a gentle force that she puts forward ...
1984...a mid-1980s that saw her in particularly good shape, especially on the Charts side. It's only fair reward for an artist with more than obvious talent...
1985 ... there, on the other hand, it's something else ! An inspiration at the top for a rhythmic song at will. Surely one of his best titles if not the best. HU-GE !
1985 ... an inspiration at the rendezvous, a style that goes well, in short, everything goes perfectly in this year 1985. And it is far from over !
1985 ... softness, once again but this time much more worked. And that, I buy !
1985 ... a year that will truly go down as his best. Quality, inspiration, rhythm, the perfect cocktail !
1989 ... a beautiful end to the decade. Much more in line with what is being done at that time !
1989 ... yet another title with more than certain inspiration and which once again shows all of the singer's know-how in the 'emotional' register. All good !
1989...a first decade of career that ends here. A first decade which will have seen her hatch then explode at the highest level and then come down somewhat from its pedestal...
1990 ... another change of decade which rhymes with luxury cover. On one of the Beach Boys' legendary titles from 1966. And my faith, it works pretty well !
1992 ... a decade of 90 which will prove to be more complicated to manage than expected. Even if the singer is far from demerit, it is clear that the competition is now light years ahead ...
1992 ... she returns regularly to the Intimist, a favorite area which serves as a refuge in the event of a hard blow. Unfortunately, this title will not reverse the trend despite an obvious quality ...
1996 ... the adventure continues for good but it is clear that the singer does more in the figuration than anything else. Hard law of the trade ...
1996 ... a tribute to the French heroine, a heroine who has often been honored during the end of the twentieth century in several titles by Anglo-Saxon artists ...
1998 ... even if the singer is no longer really part of the leading pack, the main thing is that she still believes in it. And us too !
1998 ... she tries to adapt to the latest trends of the moment. It starts from a good feeling but the result leaves something to be desired ...
2001 ... she will attempt the transition to the 2000s but what did not work during the 1990s will not work either at the beginning of the decade ...
2001 ... another nice title of which she has the secret. Her desire to move forward at all costs forces respect especially when you see what she is still capable of producing ...
2004 ... almost 25 years after her debut, she signs here one of her most beautiful pieces. A WONDER that literally floats in the air and that suspends time as if by magic. Like what, nothing is ever finished ...
2004...and that's for sure the story is far, far from over. She still has things to offer and especially to sing !
2004 ... she manages to maintain a level of quality that is largely sufficient for us to continue to be interested in her, that's clear !
2007... the singer's level of productivity remains impressive and above all shows that she certainly does not intend to stop on such a good path...
2008...it's a minimum of 4 to 5 albums produced per decade and each time the quality is essential. It's really hard to understand why most of them now go under the radar...
2011...she will have gone through the 70s, then the 80s, then the 90s, then the 2000s and here she is at the gates of the 2010s. An exceptional longevity to say the least !
2011...an exceptional longevity that is only found among the most gifted of each generation as always...
2012... she continues her adventure quietly but surely and it doesn't matter whether there is success or not as long as she takes pleasure in what she does...
2012...and in principle she is absolutely right ! Because we know, in music, everything is possible and a return to grace is never to be excluded...
2012...and it's especially the first hour fans who are delighted to find her regularly as soon as a new album comes out. And us with them necessarily !
2014...when you see the number of albums produced since her debut, the list becomes really impressive. What talent !
2014...with each title, we tell ourselves that it may be the last and each time she comes back inexorably. A desire to believe in it to the end which undoubtedly commands respect !
2017...what a pity that she didn't try to stick a little more to the latest musical trends because everything would have been possible then in terms of returning to the front of the stage...
2017...afterwards, we can't blame her for preferring to stay in his comfort zone and minimize the risks as much as possible...
2017...we would have just liked to see her attempt a few forays into musical registers unknown to her. It's never too late as they say...
2018...the hellish trio ! When you put together 3 singers who have marked their era, it is certain that the result will be up to par...
2018...and it has to be. Admittedly, the girls won't step out of their comfort zone again, but what they offer is far from devoid of interest, that's for sure !
2018... it's a real pleasure to see them push the song together and we can only salute this most successful association...
2019...they will even make us in the special Christmas title, just to leave a mark in this register as well. We take, we take !
2020...and another decade on the clock, one ! Impossible to stop her at this stage and we therefore imagine that we will still find her a bunch of times during this decade. For our greatest pleasure necessarily...
2020... who could have imagined in 1979 when she started her career that she would still be here in 2020 ? Not many people that's for sure...
2020...and yet she is here ! Like more and more other artists from the 80s like her who also decided to show that they still exist...
2020...so she's been there for 40 years. Always faithful to the post and always as determined not to let go until the end...
2021... they were 3, now they are 4 ! An explosive Girls Band whose commitment to please us as best they can...
2021... the girls take obvious pleasure in working together otherwise they would have thrown in the towel a long time ago. Kudos to them !
2022... so we imagine that this title will not necessarily be the last. We are therefore impatiently awaiting a next title which will necessarily be of quality as always...
