You just have to love the 1980s! An Alison Moyet solo from her debut album “Alf” (as distinct from her time with Yazoo … aka Yaz). Much as I love her voice, the video here does nothing for me! Enjoy her singing!

I have to laugh, because if this post was about the other half of “Yazoo”, or “Yaz” as they were known here, I could have regaled you with all sorts of facts and trivia. I have followed Vince Clarke from his days with “Depeche Mode” to “Yaz” to “The Assembly” to his since 1985, “Erasure”. Both of the “Yaz” albums are now in my Son’s possession, as he came upon them in his teens and took a liking to them. I could not even tell you how Alison Moyet became lost to me following “Yazoo’s” breakup that occurred shortly before the release of their second album in 1983. Having listened to this song, I am inclined to explore more of her solo work. The video does nothing for the music! Thank-you!

A shame we don’t have that type of talent now. You just have to be pretty and loud to make it. I miss the 70s and 80s. Thanks for sharing that, I enjoyed it.

I love her vocal tones, very “bluesy” and very powerful. Of course I also loved her in the “Yaz” days doing “Only You” and “Nobody’s Diary”. Memories eh?

Yes, the 80’s music definitely was great!
I am glad that you shared this song and it wasn’t for your ears only. 🙂
I felt the same way about the video, but I find that happens a lot with music videos. Not always sure what the producers are thinking when they make the videos.

Most videos I can explain away as just creative, but I have a problem when women are portrayed as excessively thin.
