Alison Moyet Other Album

When I met Alison Moyet recently to discuss Other, her first album for four years, she told me she would be very keen to get back into producing more drama.Here’s the thing: she never stopped doing it. The answer was a direct response to the prospect of revisiting the success of her theatre work, after shows such as the musical Chicago and comedy-drama Smaller, where she co-starred with her. Welcome to the Official Website of Alison Moyet. Alison reached Top 5 with her eighth studio album, the minutes, released Deluxe editions of her Alf, Raindancing, Hoodoo and Essex albums, followed up with her critically-acclaimed ninth studio album Other.

Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet (/ˈmɔɪ.eɪ/MOY-ay; born 18 June 1961) is an English singer, songwriter and performer noted for her powerful bluesycontralto voice. She came to prominence as half of the duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz), but has since mainly worked as a solo artist.

Her worldwide album sales have reached a certified 23 million, with over 2 million singles sold. All nine of her studio albums and three compilation albums have charted in the Top 30 UK Album Chart, with two of the albums reaching number one. She has also achieved nine Top 30 singles and five Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart.^[1] Her most recent album, her ninth, Other, was released 16 June 2017.^[2]

2Music career

Early life[edit]

Moyet was born Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet^[3] in the Essex town of Billericay to a French father and English mother.^[4] She grew up in the nearby town of Basildon, where she attended Janet Duke Junior School and then Nicholas Comprehensive at secondary level.^[5]^[6] After leaving school at 16, she worked as a shop assistant and trained as a piano tuner. She was involved in a number of punk rock, pub rock and blues bands in the South East Essex area during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the Vandals,^[4]the Screamin' Ab Dabs, the Vicars and the Little Roosters^[4] (the latter featuring Garrie Lammin, formerly of Cock Sparrer).

Music career[edit]

1980s: Yazoo and solo beginnings[edit]

At the age of 21, Moyet's mainstream pop career began in 1982 with the formation of the synthpop duo Yazoo with former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke. In the United States, the band operated under the name Yaz, due to trademark issues with the Yazoo Records record label already operating in the region. Yazoo had several hits, including 'Only You', 'Don't Go', 'Situation' and 'Nobody's Diary', and recorded two albums, Upstairs at Eric's and You and Me Both.

In 1983, Clarke decided to disband Yazoo. While Clarke went on to form The Assembly (another duo, this time with Eric Radcliffe) and then Erasure (a duo again, with Andy Bell), Moyet signed to CBS, and began her solo career. In 1984, Moyet released her debut solo album Alf (titled after her punk-era nickname).^[7]Alf was produced by the record producing and songwriting team of Jolley & Swain.^[7] The album was co-written by the duo and Moyet, with the exception of 'Invisible', which was written for Moyet by Lamont Dozier.^[7] The record was a hit in Britain, reaching No. 1 in the album chart. Alf spawned three international hit singles, 'Love Resurrection' (UK No. 10), 'Invisible' (UK No. 21) and 'All Cried Out' (UK No. 8). In the US, 'Invisible' was a Top 40 hit. In some European territories, a fourth single, 'For You Only', was also released.

In 1985, Moyet performed at Live Aid alongside Paul Young and later returned unscheduled to the stage (alongside Bob Geldof, David Bowie and Pete Townshend) to provide vocals on 'Let It Be' when Paul McCartney's vocal microphone at his piano failed, leaving him unable to be heard for the first stanza of the song. (Twenty years later, he overdubbed his vocal for the Live Aid DVD release.) Moyet also released a single not featured on Alf, a cover of the standard 'That Ole Devil Called Love', which climbed to No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart (it remains Moyet's highest-charting UK single).

Moyet had another big UK hit the following year with 'Is This Love?' (co-written by Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, under the pseudonym Jean Guiot),^[8] followed in 1987 by her second LP, Raindancing. Raindancing spawned further hit singles, including a cover of Floy Joy's 'Weak in the Presence of Beauty' and 'Ordinary Girl'. Adobe printer for os x download. In 1987, she scored another cover hit with 'Love Letters', which peaked at UK No. 4. The video for the song featured comedy duo French & Saunders.

1990s: Further recordings and hiatus[edit]

Following a period of personal and career evaluation, Hoodoo was released in 1991. The album sold respectably in the UK, and Moyet was nominated for a Grammy for the single 'It Won't Be Long'. However, the release of Hoodoo marked the beginning of an eight-year fight for Moyet to secure complete control of her artistic direction.^[9] Like many similar artists (including Aimee Mann and the late Kirsty MacColl), Moyet was reluctant to record a radio-friendly 'pop' album simply for the sake of creating chart hits.^[9]

Moyet's next album, Essex (1994), was also a source of controversy for her; in order for the album to be released, her label (now Sony) insisted that certain Essex tracks be re-recorded and re-produced, and that there be additional material remixed to create a more 'commercial' package. The video for the single 'Whispering Your Name' again featured Dawn French.

Following the release of Essex, Sony released a greatest hits compilation of Moyet's work. Singles entered the UK charts at No. 1 and, following a UK tour, was re-issued as a double CD set which included 'Live (No Overdubs)', a bonus live CD. Upon re-issue, Singles charted again, this time in the Top 20.

Due to prolonged litigation with Sony, Moyet did not record or release a new studio album for over eight years after the release of Essex.^[9] During this time, however, she recorded vocals for Tricky, Sylk-130, Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds, and King Britt,^[9] and was featured on the British leg of the Lilith Fair tour. 2001 saw the release of The Essential Alison Moyet CD, and in 2002 The Essential Alison Moyet DVD.

In 1995, she sang back-up vocals with Sinéad O'Connor for one of Dusty Springfield's last television appearances, singing 'Where Is a Woman to Go?' on the music show Later With Jools Holland.

2000s: Return to recording and touring[edit]

In August 2002, Moyet was released from her Sony contract. Moyet signed to Sanctuary Records and released her first studio album in eight years. Hometime was produced by The Insects, who had also produced works by Massive Attack and Madonna. The release of the CD launched Moyet into the top five best-selling female UK artists of 2002,^[10] and resulted in a BRIT Awards nomination for Best Female Vocalist,^[11] as well as a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize.^[12]Hometime was certified gold in the UK for sales in excess of 100,000 copies, with little promotion.

Voice, a collection of cover versions, was released on 6 September 2004 and entered the UK charts at No. 7. Scored and produced by Moyet's neighbour (and Academy Award winner) Anne Dudley, the album was later re-issued with a bonus track, 'Alfie'. A companion DVD, One Blue Voice, was released in 2006. Voice was certified Gold in the UK within four weeks of its release.

In December 2006, Moyet signed a recording contract with W14 Music,^[13] a Universal Music Group imprint. The deal saw Moyet reunited with label head John Williams, who was A&R man for her previous two albums, Hometime and Voice.

Moyet's album, The Turn, was released on 15 October 2007, preceded by the single 'One More Time' a week earlier. The album featured self-penned songs, including the three numbers she wrote for the stage play, Smaller in which she starred with Dawn French. For these songs, again Moyet worked alongside producer/songwriter and frequent Moyet collaborator Pete Glenister. The Turn debuted at No. 21 on the UK Albums Chart on 22 October 2007. Moyet left W14 shortly after the release of The Turn. During mid-2008, Moyet reunited with Vince Clarke as Yazoo for a series of live dates.

Sony Music released The Best of Alison Moyet on 19 October 2009. It was Moyet's personal selection of tracks from her seven solo albums. The deluxe edition of the album, The Best of: 25 Years Revisited, contained an extra disc, with re-recorded versions of older songs. Moyet supported the release with a tour of the UK and Ireland during November and December 2009.^[14] Also in 2009, she provided vocals to My Robot Friend's single 'Waiting.'

2010s: Return to synthpop roots[edit]

Moyet appeared with Jools Holland throughout his tour of the UK in 2010. In the same year she contributed vocals to 'The Man That Got Away' on Holland's album Rocking Horse.^[15]

Moyet appeared with Heather Peace on January 2012 on the final concert of Peace's first studio album, Fairytales.^[16]

Moyet announced on BBC Radio 6 Music that her new album with Guy Sigsworth would be released in 2012, but in February that year she stated 'I appear to have forfeited my recording deal because I won't do reality TV. No-one needs to make an album that badly. Tea anyone?' In an interview with Touchbase the following June, Moyet confirmed that she was still recording her album and that she was not rushing it.^[17] On 22 January 2013 the singer announced on her Facebook page that she had signed a worldwide deal with London-based record label Cooking Vinyl.^[18] Sony Music had earlier announced that Moyet's four solo albums on the label (Alf, Raindancing, Hoodoo and Essex) were being digitally remastered and would be reissued with B-sides and bonus material. In February 2013, Moyet said of the remastered albums: 'The project was Sony's – some initial work was done and then the project was suspended.'^[19]

The Minutes was released in the UK on 6 May 2013. The first single, 'When I Was Your Girl', was released on 1 April 2013. A tour of the UK and Ireland to promote the album was announced for October.^[20] Describing the album, Moyet said: 'I avoided listening to anything during the process of writing and recording this album, choosing instead to be led by my own melodic voice, the one I now find myself with 30-years-in. Guy Sigsworth returns me to a programmer's world and marries it with perfect musicality. I have been waiting for him. We have made an album mindless of industry mores that apply to middle-aged women and have shunned all talk of audiences, demographics and advert jazz covers. This has easily been my happiest studio experience.'^[21]The Minutes debuted at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart, her highest debut since 1987's Raindancing.^[22]

Microsoft's gotten all the money from the console they possibly could have by now. Play xbox games on 360. I can't find any Xbox games in stores near me, nor much for sale online any more. And now that the original Xbox is over 13 years old, I don't feel bad pirating the few seeded ISOs that I CAN find.
