‘Key’ a new album by Alison Moyet looks back over her career with a new selection of songs taken from her four decade career as a solo artist.
Moyet introduced her new retrospective song collection with sold out events in London on October 4 and Brighton on October 8.
The singer is gearing up for a world tour, which begins in February 2025 in the UK, before continuing to Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
She says:”’Key’ is a jamboree of songs taken from my 40 years as a solo artist, and revisited to sit aside one another as though they all were shaped in the same year and under the same roof. Two newly written songs open from the house to the garden, where new planting in some coming months may begin. Or not. Depends on the weather.
“Meanwhile a bus has been booked and I’m taking them on the road where I fully expect them to get along nicely or there’ll be sharp words. I won’t be having any nonsense.”
The new album features new tracks ‘Such Small Ale’ and ‘The Impervious Me’, which was co-written by Sean McGhee and John McGarden, who has been Alison’s collaborator since her 2002 ‘Hometime’ tour. Other highlights include a reworking of the hit song ‘Is This Love’ and a solo version of her Lightning Seeds collaboration ‘My Best Day’. The finale is a new version of ‘You Don’t Have To Go.’
