  • Great format - really enjoyable

    Just finished listening to this podcast. What a great format - bite-size chunks focussing on all the highlights of Alison’s long and interesting career but in in their entirety giving plenty of space to focus on the ups and downs and detail of those key minutes and otherness of this intriguing singer’s life. Would love to hear other career interviews in this format.

    A thoughtful, emotional funny and nostalgic walk through 40 years of one of the most treasured artists.

    This podcast made me laugh out loud and towards the end I did have a small cry.

  • Magnificent podcast series!

    I’ve been a fan of Alison’s work for over 40 years - both solo and as a member of Yazoo - but as a US fan, we didn’t often get to see her or hear from her on TV or in the press (as often happened with so many UK acts) so I’ve loved getting a chance to hear about her journey as a solo artist. It’s also been great to get a real sense of her in these episodes - her sense of humor and non-nonsense outlook on life, and her frank observations about the music industry. It’s been great to hear these epi... more

  • Very engrossing

    So interesting to hear such detailed information from Alison herself, who is honest and genuine (and you swear all you want to!!). Sad to be getting to the end of the series.

  • Extraordinarily insightful

    What a gift for fans and all music lovers to hear an artist talk about 40 moments in a solo career that spans 4 decades. I think it helps that Alison Moyet knows and implicitly trusts Steve Coates-Dennis that she reveals as much as she does. A podcast like no other, true to Alison’s preternatural way to skip a predictable square on a hopscotch outline, this is extraordinarily insightful, heart-breaking, flinching, joyful, rebellious, clever, dismantling and courageous. Exquisite and revelatory.... more

  • In her own words

    I’ve been a fan of Alison since day 1. I love hearing her recount things and get her perspective which in turn reveals the type of artist and person she is. Bravo for putting this together. Living in the states we don’t hear much about Alison. This makes me feel just a little bit closer to her. xo

  • Honestly

    Alison shares incredible stories about her 40+ year career, we learn along the way, about her amazing journey as a “pop” star from past Yazoo history with Vince Clarke to her current upcoming solo release, KEY. KEY, unlike most greatest hits collections, offers updated and reworked version from her back catalog and she has added two new songs.

    This series is brutally honest and quite candid. Alison, who has become quite an intriguing storyteller, shares the history from behind the scenes of ... more

  • 40 Moyet Moments

    Thankyou so much for this podcast .. What an amazing way to share 40 years of Alison’s wonderful and varied career 👍.. I’ve only listened to the first two and I’m already in awe of her raw honesty and individuality and can already see why she is the biggest jewel 💎 in the crown of pop royalty and how her otherness has enabled her to create some of the most poetic , heart wrenching , tear jerking songs that we all know and love today, and the fact that Alison embraces her otherness and wears it... more

I was kind of gutted and frightened, I guess, because this had become my life.
Episode 1 - Becoming A Solo Artist
Q: And did that news come as a surprise, or did you feel it coming?
No, it came as a surprise.
Episode 1 - Becoming A Solo Artist
Q: How did you hear that Vince wanted to split the band? Did he tell you in person? Was it management?
It would have been him. I don't remember the moment. It would have been him though, because I didn't really have much dialogue with the record company.
Episode 9 - That Ole Devil Called Love
Q: Is being pigeonholed as one of those things something that you've always had to be wary of?
Moyet acknowledges the challenges of being labeled in various genres and explains that while she didn't use to tread carefully, she now does think about her career trajectory and potential labels.
Episode 10 - Live Aid
Q: What was it like to see that vast sea of faces at Live Aid?
It wasn't intimidating for me; I was myopic so I just saw a sea of color and focused on doing what I do.
