My Take

Alison Moyet has one of those voices you do not forget. Emerging from Billericay through the synth-pop duo Yazoo, she could easily have been pinned to a single era, yet she built a long solo career on the strength of that bluesy, powerful contralto. What I admire most is her refusal to chase trends; she simply keeps singing on her own terms. Singer, songwriter, composer, actor, the labels pile up, but the constant is that unmistakable low register. Her staying power across decades is, to me, the truest measure of an artist who trusts her own instrument.

Overview

Geneviève Alison Jane Ballard (née Moyet; MOY-ay; born 18 June 1961), formerly known as Alf, is an English singer-songwriter. Noted for her powerful bluesy contralto voice, she came to prominence as a member of the synth-pop duo Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America), but has since mainly worked as a solo artist.
