NewsAlison Moyet / New album, ‘Key’
Re-recorded tracks and two new songs
Alison Moyet will release a new album called Key in October which features 16 re-recorded songs and two new tracks.
After 2017’s Other, Moyet took time away from the music industry to study Fine Art Printmaking at Brighton University and in 2023 graduated with a first-class degree BA (Hons). But she’s now back with this new record to celebrate her 40th year as a solo artist and has announced a world tour for next year.
The new album has been created with her longtime producer, arranger and musical director Sean McGhee, with the ‘reimagined’ tracks made up from “singles, fan favourites and deep cuts”. Alison 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”. You can hear an example of one of the new versions by listening to ‘All Cried Out (Key Version)’, below.
Other reworked tracks include ‘Love Resurrection’, ‘Where Hides Sleep’ (both from ‘Alf’), ‘Is This Love’, ‘Can’t Say It Like I Mean It’ and ‘This House’. One of the new tracks is called ‘Such Small Ale’.
Alison has created the artwork for the new album and Cooking Vinyl are going very BIG with this release with an enormous array of coloured vinyl and special editions. Amazon in the UK have ‘alternative artwork’ versions of the CD edition and 2LP orange vinyl, both signed, for example. Additionally Rough Trade in the UK are offering the indies black and white splatter 2LP coloured vinyl edition, in addition to a 2LP white vinyl version (which appears to be the standard version), while HMV have a yellow and back smoke vinyl 2LP set and The Sound of Vinyl have an exclusive black and white marbled vinyl. The official Alison Moyet shop adds a turquoise marble 2LP vinyl to the list and has bundles with signed prints. That’s six different coloured vinyl already with possibly more to come!
Key will be released on 4 October 2024, via Cooking Vinyl.
