To celebrate 40 years as a solo artist, Alison Moyet releases Key, a collection of 16 reworked singles and deep cuts, alongside two brand new tracks

It is, says Alison Moyet, quite remarkable to think that she’s been singing for ‘some serious years’. She formed her first band at 16 in Basildon, was in Yazoo at 20 and released her first solo album Alf at 23. In the four decades since Alf, Moyet’s solo work has been defined not only by her refusal to repeat herself, but by that extraordinary voice: still recognizable in an instant, still capable of stopping you in your tracks, a voice big enough to fill a stadium and yet intimate enough to make you feel as though she’s singing just for you.

Key is a blazing showcase of the depth and breadth of Moyet’s song writing ability that unlocks who she is as a creative artist. With nine studio solo albums to choose from to celebrate her fortieth year as a solo artist, Moyet wanted ‘to look at the trajectory of those decades and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realized or have had their relevance to me altered by time.’

Key distils 40 years of music making, presenting a cohesive overview of a long and dazzling journey. ‘I hope this collection will be the key to those unopened doors. Let yourself in.’
