Electro-pop diva Alison Moyet comes to Emperors
Iconic songstress, Alison Moyet, will visit South Africa for the first time to celebrate Emperors Palace’s 15th birthday, on December 13 and 14.
The two concerts will feature the very best of the bluesy voiced Moyet and the hits of her electro-pop ’80s band, Yazoo, her personal hits of the past 28 years, and from her current album The Minutes.
The emotive songstress emerged from the British post-punk scene in the early 1980s as one-half of the synth-pop duo Yazoo, which sold millions of albums and enjoyed a string of hits over a two-year period, including Only You and Don’t Go.
Moyet’s voice stood out as the formidable instrument, as throaty as Janis Joplin, and as soulful as Dusty Springfield.
When Yazoo split up, Alison then went on to a flourishing solo career, and in 1984, released her debut solo album, Alf, which became a huge hit worldwide. Between 1984 and 1987, Moyet was Britain’s bestselling female solo star.
Covers of That Ole Devil Called Love and Love Letters confirmed her reputation as an interpreter of classic songs, whilst the self-penned hits All Cried Out and Love Resurrection confirmed her gift as a songwriter.
She is currently enjoying great success with her acclaimed eighth album The Minutes, which shot to number five on the UK album charts.
