Judy in Love is a studio album by Judy Garland released on November 3, 1958, by Capitol Records. The album was conceived as a contrast to the sad themes of her previous album, Alone, with Nelson Riddle providing arrangements that move between swing, slow ballads, and Latin-influenced rhythms, while reworking standards like "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" and "I Can't Give You Anything but Love". The repertoire, largely drawn from pre-1940 songs, including several by Cole Porter, is presented with a degree of emotional distance, reframing themes of infatuation as expressions of mature passion suited to Garland's stage in life.[1] The LP was her first to be recorded in stereo.[2]
