After four years, pop legend Alison Moyet is gearing up to own 2017 with brand new material. The album, titled “Other”, was produced by Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Madonna, Alanis Morissette) who also co-created her last album “The minutes”, which reached No.5 on the UK chart and won critical acclaim.
About the new lp, Moyet said: “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. 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.”
“Other” comes out this Friday.
