The Beauty of British Song: Julia Fordham

Julia Fordham arrived in the boom of female singer-songwriters in the late eighties who were an alternative to, but not the antidote to, the mindless synth-pop of the time. Her first two albums, her self-titled debut and Porcelain, were records that everyone with an interest in good music had to own. Her best-known songs include "Happy Ever After," "Manhattan Skyline," and "Lock and Key."

Though she's had more chart success in her native Britain than in America, she has a loyal audience in both countries. She's now based in California.

Julia Fordham's more recent albums include Falling Forward (1994), East West (1997) and Concrete Love (2002).

She not only has good taste in music, she has good taste in cars! :-)
