ALISON MOYET: THE TURN (CD GIVEAWAY)
Alison Moyet, former vocalist for the duo Yaz, returns to this side of the Pond with her first solo album in four years and a highly anticipated Yaz reunion. The Turn is said to be "her most fabulous" album yet, with critics and fans alike agreeing with the UK's Evening Standard who declared the album "worthy of her fabulously expressive voice" with a 4 star review and The Sunday Times who simply stated her album was "superb."

I'm supposed to be at The Bottom of the Hill tonight - watching Jay and Annie perform. Sadly, something came up and I wasn't able to attend. SORRY ANNIE! :( Instead, I was treated to a "Work In Progress" from Jay and Margaret Cho...something about oral sex, gag reflexes, fingers up asses, and milking? Watch/listen above.

THE TURN - FOR FREE!
Showcasing various influences from pop, jazz and blues, The Turn sees Moyet at her best and most self-assured. Her trademark, timeless vocals coupled with heartfelt and mature lyrics are poised to take her career to even greater heights. All eleven songs were co-written and produced by multi-instrumentalist and long time musical partner Peter Glenister (Terence Trent D'Arby, Bryan Ferry and Beth Gibbons or Portishead, among others.) Stand-out tracks include; the emotively strong "One More Time," the fun and upbeat "A Guy Like You" and "Anytime at All" which beautifully feature her soaring vocals. Three of the songs ("Smaller," the tango-flavored "Home," and "World Without End") were written for and performed in 2006 for a stage play, "Smaller," in which Moyet starred with Dawn French.

In the usa the single was "Invisible" . I can't believe she has a new album. I use to listen to that song and played the chorus over and over. "invisible like i am not even there" It is sometimes true
