Alison Moyet

In the organizer's words:

Alison Moyet will embark on a long-awaited world tour in 2025 - her first headline tour since 2017. In addition to four concerts in Germany, dates have also been announced in the UK, Ireland and Europe, with the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to follow. She adds: "Live work really matters to me. I can't dial in a performance. I love the physical feeling that singing gives me. It's totally primal and euphoric. On stage I remember how to connect with myself."

It's been 40 years since Alison Moyet left Yazoo and launched a solo career with her #1 debut album "Alf" and the Top 10 hits "Love Resurrection" and "All Cried Out". That unmistakable voice - big enough to fill a stadium, yet intimate enough to make you feel like she's singing just for you - has taken her on quite a journey since then. Her career highlights include two #1 albums, six Top 10 singles, two BRIT Awards and a Grammy nomination.

Having recently graduated from Brighton University in 2023 with a first class degree in Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons), Alison Moyet has combined art and music and designed the album cover herself to celebrate 40 years as a solo artist with the release of 'Key' on October 4 - a collection of 16 reworked singles, fan favorites and deep cuts, plus two new songs, which together provide a brilliant showcase of the depth and breadth of her artistic creativity and songwriting. To kick off the album, she introduces one of the brand new songs, "Such Small Ale", alongside the reworked Moyet classic "All Cried Out". Alison says: "I wanted to take the opportunity to look at the trajectory of the past four decades and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realized or have had their relevance to me altered by time."

The songs on "Key" were all reinterpreted together with their producer, arranger and musical director Sean McGhee. Some songs remain closer to the originals, "All Cried Out" and "Love Resurrection" are refreshed rather than reinvented, their 80s motifs swapped for a more timeless production. Others appear in a new light, such as McGhee's exquisite arrangements of Guy Sigsworth's co-write "Filigree" and "Is This Love?" now rendered as a sweeping, shimmering epic ballad. This album has allowed Alison to revisit some of the songwriting highlights of her career, including tracks such as "Can't Say It Like I Mean It" and "This House". "Key" encapsulates 40 years of music making and offers a cohesive overview of a long and dazzling journey. Alison says: "I hope this collection will be the key to those unopened doors. Let yourself in."
