She got her big break in 1985 by doing vocals for the Creator/DavidLynch film ''Film/BlueVelvet'' with the song "Mysteries of Love". Used after Lynch's attempt to use Music/ThisMortalCoil's CoverVersion of "Song to the Siren" was thwarted by licensing costs, the song became a prominent part of the film and gained attention to Cruise's abilities. This led to the ''Blue Velvet'''s composer, Angelo Badalamenti, writing more songs for her to perform for future films. The resulting recordings ended up on her 1989 critically acclaimed album ''Floating Into The Night''.

After this she started working with Lynch again for the music in his series, ''Series/TwinPeaks''. Several songs from ''Floating Into the Night'' featured in the series, sometimes with Cruise herself performing on-screen, and an instrumental version of "Falling" was used as the series' theme (and won a Grammy for outstanding pop instrumental - Cruise herself missed out on a prize as she neither wrote nor performed on the instrumental, but her vocal version became a hit single in several countries). Around this time Cruise also toured with Music/TheB52s while Cindy Wilson took a leave of absence from the band.

It should also be noted that she was one of 3 major DreamPop solo artists, including LisaGermano and HeidiBerry. Compared to the former's AlternativeRock nature and the latter's FolkRock nature, Cruise takes her music from more NewAge and {{Jazz}} influences. Additionally, Cruise hasn't been somehow associated with the [[FourADRecords 4AD Records]] label. (Both Germano and Berry were signed to it in TheNineties; Berry also contributed to ThisMortalCoil's last album)
