Album Review: Alison Moyet - The Turn
July 30, 2008
The Turn is Alison Moyet’s first new collection of original material since Hometime in 2002. Voice, the singer’s UK Top Ten album of 2004, was comprised of well-chosen and superbly performed classic songs by composers ranging from Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach to George and Ira Gershwin, but The Turn turns the spotlight on Alison’s formidable strengths as a contemporary composer with deep roots in soul music, modern pop, and the emotional French ballad style known as chanson. She co-wrote all eleven songs with album producer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Glenister - their partnership dates back to Alison’s 1991 album Hoodoo.
