On June 16th Cooking Vinyl presents ‘Other’ – the brand new
album by pop legend and relentless explorer Alison Moyet.
“For me, making a record
at this age, lyrically, is a different proposition. Observation in most cases
replaces emotion. The invisibility of middle/aged woman rather thrills me and
instead I watch”,
explains Moyet.
“Subject matter covers what you
might expect from a pop album. Dyslexia, locked-out syndrome, diversity, Persephone,
doggedness and the Internet. Always asked what a song is about, I attempted to
cooperate, but in truth though the lyrics incorporated my best attempt to
describe what I see and of the meaning that is mine. I want, who chooses to, to
find their own landscape or indeed none. Some of us have always felt 'Other'. I
no longer wish it were otherwise.”
Despite Alison’s
professing of age, the music bursts with clarity, vitality and freshness, whether
in the zingy ‘Lover Go’, chic laid-back soundtrack-style ‘The English U’, ‘Beautiful
Gun’s nod to her rock and roll roots, the icy Germanic arpeggios of ‘Reassuring
Pinches’ or ambient, spoken-word poem ‘April 10th’.
The hauntingly fragile and sparsely presented title track ‘Other’,
accompanied by a hypnotic video directed by Steve Gullick, is available as an
instant track download when pre-ordering the album.
‘Other’ finds
Alison at the top of her game - making exactly the adventurous electronic pop
music she wants to at this moment in time, with her voice and songwriting both
intense, poetic and thought provoking. ‘Other’ was catalysed by Alison’s fruitful
dalliance with producer and song writing collaborator Guy Sigsworth, who (as
well as having worked with Björk, Goldie and Madonna),
co-created her last album ‘the minutes’, which debuted at # 5 in the national charts
and won critical acclaim.
The new
longplayer features backing vocals from Alison’s daughter on ‘The English U’,
which was preceded by her guest appearance on stage at Alison’s Royal Albert
Hall show, and an appearance in the video for ‘When I Was Your Girl’ (from ‘the
minutes’).
In
addition to Alison studying sculpture at college whilst also creating this new release,
other happenings of note since ‘the minutes’ include receiving an Icon Award at
Nordoff Robbins Silver Clef Awards, a hot ticket performance with a 32 piece
orchestra at Burberry’s London Fashion Week womenswear show, and her
involvement in the RSC’s celebration of Shakespeare’s 400th
anniversary where Alison composed and performed a new arrangement of Sigh No
More Ladies (from Much Ado About Nothing) in their BBC 2 live special.
