Raindancing

Product Information

Record company travails continued for Moyet into the mid-90s – while the label execs wanted to pitch her as a middle-of-the-road balladeer, the singer had other ideas entirely. Her worldwide album sales have reached a certified 23million, with over two million singles sold. All nine of her studio albums and three compilation albums have charted in the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart, with two of them reaching number one. She has also achieved nine top 30 singles and six top 10 hits on the UK Singles Chart. [1] Her most recent album, her ninth, Other, was released 16 June 2017.

Upon release, Smash Hits said: "Ever since she made her first solo LP, Alf, Alison Moyet has been slagging it off for being a bit of a middle-of-the-road coffee table record, so it's surprising that Raindancing isn't really that different. There's less roaring singing and less emphasis on being intensely 'soulful' but these are still 10 fairly polite pop songs. Not that it's bad – most of it is in the same chug-along vein as the two singles, but it'd be nice if it didn't all sound so safe and predictable. The best songs, 'Ordinary Girl' and 'Stay', are, oddly enough, the two which sound rather like Yazoo." [21] Wade, Ian (16 May 2013). "Changeling: Alison Moyet Interviewed". The Quietus .
