Alison Moyet’s legacy as one of the UK’s most captivating recording artists gets a fresh spotlight with her latest release, Key - a collection that celebrates 40 years of her solo artistry. But don’t be fooled, this is no ordinary retrospective. Moyet has teamed up with producer Sean McGhee to reimagine 16 tracks spanning her career, pulling singles, fan favorites, and hidden gems into the present. It’s more than just a glance in the rearview mirror - Key breathes new life into songs that now stand anew. “I wanted to take the opportunity to look at the trajectory of the past four decades” Moyet explains, “and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realised or have had their relevance to me altered by time.”

The collection includes two brand-new tracks, including the epic “Such Small Ale,” which showcases Moyet’s continued evolution as a songwriter. Her artistry remains as bold and nuanced as ever, and Key is a reminder that her creative well is far from running dry.

From her early days with Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America), where she first carved her name into the annals of synth-pop history, to her now 40-year-long solo career, Moyet’s body of work has been a study in reinvention and growth. Her nine studio albums, multiple compilations, and chart-topping releases have sold millions worldwide, but it’s the reworking of these songs that marks a new chapter - an artist reflecting on the road traveled while still pushing forward.

With artwork by Moyet herself, Key is both visually and sonically an album crafted with care. It offers longtime fans a chance to rediscover old favorites in a fresh light and introduces new listeners to the many facets of her musical journey. Whether you’ve been along for the ride since the beginning or are just now tuning in, Key opens the door to the full spectrum of Alison Moyet’s artistry.
