It’s been 40 years since Alison Moyet fired up a solo career with her debut album Alf and singles like “Love Resurrection” and “All Cried Out.” Since then she’s had two more #1 albums, six Top 10 singles, two Brit Awards and a Grammy nomination.
Following her recent graduation from Brighton University in 2023 with a first-class degree in Fine Art Printmaking BA (Hons), Alison Moyet has combined both art and music in creating the album art herself to celebrate her 40th year as a solo artist with the release of new album Key on October 4th, 2024. The album combines new songs, reinterpretations, and rarities.
She has launched the album by sharing the new song, “Such Small Ale” alongside the reworked Moyet single “All Cried Out”.
Moyet has also announced that she will embark upon world tour in 2025, her first full headline tour since 2017. UK, Ireland and European dates have been announced, and US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand dates are to follow.
Alison Moyet 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 realised or have had their relevance to me altered by time.
The songs that feature on Key were all reimagined alongside her Producer, arranger and musical director Sean McGhee. Some songs remain closer to the originals but others are cast in a new light.
The new song and single “Such Small Ale” fits naturally with classic tracks and was cowritten with McGhee and Suede guitarist Richard Oakes, the latter of whom performs on several tracks on the album.
Key will arrive in a wide range of physical formats are available with exclusives for Amazon, HMV and select indie stories. The official store has bundles including marble color vinyl, CD and cassette and all bundles include a print signed by Alison Moyet.
