Alison Moyet announces new album, upcoming tour

Alison Moyet fans will be thrilled to hear that the pop star is coming out with new material, a full album titled Other. Moyet explained how writing an album has changed for her as she's gotten older. “For me, making a record at this age, lyrically, is a different proposition. Observation in most cases replaces emotion. The invisibility of middle/aged woman rather thrills me and instead I watch," she says, suggesting that the title "Other," can refer to being a spectator as well as a misfit. “Subject matter covers what you might expect from a pop album. Dyslexia, locked-out syndrome, diversity, Persephone, doggedness and the Internet. Always asked what a song is about, I attempted to cooperate, but in truth though the lyrics incorporated my best attempt to describe what I see and of the meaning that is mine. I want, who chooses to, to find their own landscape or indeed none. Some of us have always felt Other. I no longer wish it were otherwise.”
The title track "Other" has been released along with a video directed by Steve Gullick, and is available upon pre-order of the entire album. The album itself is in part a family affair, with Alison's daughter singing backup vocals on the track "The English U."
You can pre order "Other" now. The full album will be available June 16. Watch the video for the title track below, and check out the dates for Alison's Ireland and U.K tour.
