Alison Moyet

A British pop singer who is known for her rich, bluesy voice, Alison Moyet sang in the short-lived, hit alternative dance group Yazoo before going solo for a long lived career that touched on jazz, orchestral pop, and synth pop. Her 1984 solo debut, Alf reached the top of the U.K. album chart and included "Invisible," her only Top 40 hit in the U.S. She went on to become a steady presence on the U.K. charts, however, with each of her studio albums reaching at least the Top 30. Sticking with a primarily synth-driven adult pop for her first few albums, she eventually experimented with lusher arrangements, including strings on 2002's Hometime, and took on standards with 2004's Voice. Released in 2013, The Minutes marked a return to club-minded electronics while keeping her sound distinctly contemporary. In 2017, Moyet's ninth studio album, Other, was accompanied by her first extensive world tour in 30 years. Celebrating her 40th anniversary as a solo artist, 2024's Key featured 16 re-recorded songs (spanning singles, fan favorites, and deep cuts) alongside two new ones.
