Not sure, but I have a hunch we might have some Alison Moyet fans among us. She hasn't had an album in 3 years and she hasn't had a hit album in a decade, but she's back with a very unusual collection of cover songs:
"Voice" will be released on September 6 and was produced by Anne Dudley. Songs include "Windmills of Your Mind," "The Man I Love," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" "Alfie" and a pair of Elvis Costello songs "Almost Blue" and "God Give Me Strength." Moyet also sings selections by Bizet, Purcell and the traditional Welsh song "The Waggle Taggle Gipsies-Oh!"

Posted: 7/27/05 at 4:22pmJoe, is this a domestic release (I think it came out last year overseas)?

Oops, yes I did not realize this was the same album! With different graphics and a bonus track I was taken in!
The album is coming from Sanctuary, who has made a fortune working with artists who had big hits in the 80's. It will be released through Sony/BMG.

Posted: 7/27/05 at 4:39pmOne of the most underrated singers in the world. She's the best!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

She oozes sex. And BOY do the lesbians love her. They practically rushed the stage and jumped her at the concert I attended. Of course, keeping the genders the same for 'Whispering Your Name' (which Jules Shear wrote about his girlfriend and now becomes about Alison's 'girlfriend') doesn't hurt.

I love Alf, but kind of sick of covers albums. I mean, kudos to her for picking a track selection better than that dreaful Annie Lennox, but still. It seems like so much treading water.
I wonder why they haven't plugged her into Chicago on this side of the pond?
In a realted topic, did anybody else see Erasure on their recent tour. They sure were fantabulous.

I have this album ("Voice") and was listening to it even before I saw this thread. I got it on Amazon marketplace...it was cheaper than getting it imported. Highly recommended...she is a goddess (and my current avatar).

Love the uniqueness of her voice..."Upstairs at Eric's" is a great album...though I haven't been crazy about her solo work, with the exception of "The First Time..."
Vasquez's "Ode to Boy" remix was also a good one.
Do you think if Andy Bell and Allison Moyet did a duet, we'd be able to tell them apart???
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 4:52pmJust got a couple of lovely e-mails from her. She said she is working on a dvd release for the fall, and may do some concerts here in the US to support it.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 4:58pmWhat great news Jimm-- I almost asked about a tour when I posted, but thought it unlikely. She would pack them in. She gives a wonderful concert when she is of a mind to.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 1:58pmJust bought this CD. It's beautiful. It's quite different than what I was expecting... a lot more smokey/lounge-ey. Lovely.
