British electro pop legends THE HUMAN LEAGUE and Marc Almond‘s
Soft Cell, plus former Yazoo voice Alison Moyet will fly together to
the US.
And the pretty in pink rockers THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS aren’t retired yet, either.
ALISON MOYET (born named Geneviève Alison Jane Ballard Moyet 63 years ago
in Essex, England) made her name with synth-pop tandem Yazoo (1981-1983).
Her solo career already spans 40 years. Last week she communicated details
of her new, 10th, album. KEY is her first in 7 years. It comes out on October 4.

ALISON MOYET came in the picture as half of 80s British synth-pop duo Yazoo.
The other half was Vince Clarke who co-founded Depeche Mode, but left after
a couple of years.
Moyet started her solo career 40 years ago. She released multiple LPs
and has now a new one waiting in the pipeline. It’s named KEY and will
come out on October 4.
With the news came 2 tracks, of which
ALL CRIED OUT fits this blue Monday.
Lyrics
You took your time to come back this time
The grass has grown under your feet
In your absence I changed my mind
And someone else is sitting in your seat
I know that I said that there’d be no one else
I know that I said I’d be true
But baby, I burned Cupid’s arrow
And here’s the short and narrow
I’ve nothing left to offer you
I’m all cried out
You took a whole lot of loving for
A handful of nothing
All cried out
It’s hard to give you something when
You’re pushing and shoving me around
