Alison Moyet releasing a new album in 2024

I have to say, I am LOVING this new song.

OH! And it's her birthday today. She's 63 years old! Happy birthday!

Porn star Francois Sagat is her cousin.

AUTUMN, OP, AUTUMN

Can't wait, I was just wondering the other day about her. I hope it's as depressing as Other, I appreciate that album/song more and more with each passing year

R2 Isn't that a trip?

[quote] KEY will be released in the fall.

Autumn!

She should put the weight back on. The original Ozempic face, pre-Ozempic.

And Vince Clarke doesn’t get enough credit.

I will be checking this out. Yaz has always had a special place in my heart. Her solo stuff is good, too.

[quote]And Vince Clarke doesn’t get enough credit.

Credit for what? They did one album together 40 years ago and she's been a solo artist ever since.

Correction: 2 albums obviously.

Vince Clarke gets plenty of credit. But they've both gone on to do other things and she hasn't made music with him for 40 fucking years.

A truly bizarre statement.

One thing of note is that Alison's re-recording of All Cried Out will generate revenue for songwriter Steve Jolley of Jolly & Swain, who is a convicted paedo.

He also gets money from Bananarama's Cruel Summer and Robert de Niro.

All Cried Out should be sped-up with some synthesizers added. Or better yet, just cover the Lisa Lisa song.

Upstairs At Eric's is one of my all-time favorite albums.

The new album is out on Friday.

There's been a final preview song released, the reworking of WHERE HIDES SLEEP which IMHO is the best one thus far.....really lent itself to an update.

She's been doing "40 Moyet Moments" which are interesting deep dives on various albums/songs. Also a livestream was on today. All interesting stuff.

It's a shame she was never a star in the US. She was too fat for MTV.

Fuck, she looks amazing for 63

The weird ass videos her record company made didn't help.

I have always loved her voice. My mother loved her, and played her CDs often.

No matter how thin she gets she still sounds fat. Fat. Fat. Fat.

Luff huh ❤️

No point to this album. It sounds like a tour album. There’s nothing new here. Just bad versions of her own songs. After 7 years she should be releasing a new studio album. This is crap.

Her previous two techno albums were the best of her career. This is bad.

A gal's gotta eat.

I don't like her disco stuff, I like her depressing poetry albums more, which weirdly help me deal with my own depression; they're sublime and I can't wait to hear this one.

R19 Did they dress her as a welder as they did poor Ann Wilson?

The Moyet Moments podcast is great, although annoying they're only 10-15 minutes long.

She's incredibly articulate and has a fantastic way of words. She doesn't sugar coat anything, any of her relationships or thoughts about people. She's blunt but not bitchy.

Apparently she's working on a new album with the same guy that did The Minutes, so that's something to look forward to......

Purchased the digital version of Key this morning.

I'm a big Alison fan.....am glad to have this but it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the better known songs don't sound great in their reworkings, but I'm enjoying some of them very much (My Best Day, World Without End). Is This Love has been slowed down considerably....I didn't like the original much and like this version but others may not.

Guessing this is pretty much her set list for the 2025 tour and how the songs will be arranged, so there's that.

Was happy to spend $10 for the digital tracks but am not spending $50 for the vinyl.

She's 63 but her voice sounds like 83 yo warbling.

r30 Thanks for the heads up. I love her, but she's definitely like many artists - some great stuff, some real clunkers, and everywhere in between.

I used to love her life stuff. I remember she was fantastic with Paul Young at Live Aid. I love this performance on Letterman.

I'll add that my quibbles, such as they are, are similar to last year's Everything But The Girl album.

With both Alison and EBTG they can do little wrong in my eyes artistically, and I'm willing to go on a journey with them.

But with both.....I guess the budgets were nonexistent because the electronica on some songs sounds like it was programmed on a Fisher Price synthesizer. One misses a guitar or piano here and there.

R31 Can't agree totally but she's definitely got more of a vibrato on those high notes.

When did Alison do disco??

I do like this. This version was essentially what she did in 2017 on the Other tour.

Her last two electronic albums are the best of her career! I see no point to this new one.

R37 Based on what she's said in her podcast, I think she really wanted to tour, wanted and needed to work, and promoters weren't willing to book shows without an album (something she's promoting).

She'd spent the last few years getting a university degree (sculpting) and she and her team wanted to mark the 40th anniversary - so she didn't have time to write and create a whole new album, so I guess the decision was made to do this revisiting of older songs.

I wish there had been a new album, for sure. Supposedly there will be one in the next year or so.

I loved ALF. INVISIBLE is one of my favorite karaoke songs.

Is Invisible the song she refuses to perform live because she can’t relate to it as a middle age woman.

I love that her cousin is porn star François Sagat. They follow each other on social media. She jokes that his dick shows up on her feed from time to time.

“All Signs of Life” on this sounds pretty good. The original was fantastic. It’s from her 2013 album “The Minutes”. Alison is one of the few people who embraces her age and still creates edgy music and lives her life on her own terms. She’s very self deprecating but doesn’t take any shit.

R40 Yes, she said she never much liked it because she never felt it. Apparently the way it's arranged, it's also a hard song to sing.

Unfortunately, it's her biggest US hit.
