[ citation needed] Personal life [ edit ] The Insects’ arrangements provide the perfect cradle for Moyet’s talents, from the heartstring tugging model of restraint that is Should I Feel That It’s Over to the sly groove of chilled electronicatinged More.The album would mark the end of her songwriting partnership with Pete Glenister and you get the sense that was the correct call, there are plenty of steady songs on The Turn but nothing to get you particularly excited. Glorious Love boasts a distinctly Duran Duran funk bounce with an upbeat chorus. The galloping Without You feels a little like Kirsty MacColl and the fizzy pop of When I Say (No Giveaway)details a brief romantic liaison with Alison competing for space in the mix with a superb, wriggling bassline.
Since this album has never been reissued and there has never been any kind of Alison Moyet rarities anthology, more or less everything on this bonus disc is new to CD. Content includes both 12-inch remixes of Love Resurrection, both 12-inch mixes of Invisible and the ‘new version’ of For You Only (in seven-inch and Extended versions). That last song was only issued as a single in the US and a few territories in Europe. It eventually surfaced in the UK on the B-side to Is This Love? retitled ‘Europa Mix’. The Europa Mix was identical the Extended New Version, so the shorter single-length ‘New Version’ is unreleased in the UK until now. The first live album of Moyet’s career, the proliferation of material culled from The Minutes proves just how much confidence the singer had in her eighth studio LP. In December 2006, Moyet signed a recording contract with W14 Music, [13] a Universal Music Group imprint. The deal saw Moyet reunited with label head John Williams, who was A&R man for her previous two albums, Hometime and Voice. The songs themselves are played pretty straight, from the wistful Windmills Of Your Mind to the gentle Gershwin standard The Man I Love.a b c d e f g Roberts, David, ed. (2006).
