User Album Review
Don’t be fooled by the ambiguous title. Other might be a modest branding for Alison Moyet’s first new album in four years, but its contents are meaningful and deeply expressive. It turns out to be the best possible vehicle for one of the most recognisable voices in British pop music. Like Dave Gahan, Marc Almond, Debbie Harry and Andy Bell, to name just a few, Moyet is a vocalist whose biggest decade looked set to be the 1980s – but here, 30 years on, she continues to develop while keeping the qualities that made her stand out in the first place.
Other is not just any other album. It shows Alison Moyet as a vocalist of immense sensitivity, feeling and lasting power. She is right at the top of her game musically and lyrically, delivering pop music that is more relevant now than at any point in her illustrious career.
