Alison moyet the minutes lyrics3/31/2023 This is most evident in the spoken word vocal on ‘April 10th’ arguably the most experimental track that Moyet has been present on since ‘I Before E Except After C’ musically the song is built on a thundering low bass synth and military-style electro snare roll. One of the refreshing things about ‘Other’ and its predecessor ‘the minutes’ are that neither resort to lyrical cliché, for an artist which has been this established it would be very easy to rest on their laurels, but it is a testament to Moyet and Sigsworth that ‘Other’ is not afraid to take risks. It’s hard to listen to lead off single ‘Reassuring Pinches’ without thinking of the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’, the opening filtered analogue synth that ushers the track in is sonically and musically very similar. ‘Beautiful Gun’ continues this, but melded to a track which sounds like an inventive electronic re-imagining of Boston’s THE PIXIES gene-spliced with GARBAGE. ‘Lover, Go’ showcases a beautifully softer side to Moyet’s vocal range, subtly understated and suiting the electronic backing perfectly, the track is an early highlight of the album with a piano coda bringing the song to its conclusion.ĪLISON MOYET has never been shy of using suggestively sexual lyrics… ‘Love Resurrection’ caused a certain amount of controversy with some of its wordplay like “I want you to grow in my hand”. With the opening salvo of tracks, the ghost of Bristol’s MASSIVE ATTACK looms large subtle sonic elements of ‘Teardrop’ and ‘Better Things’ and the dominant sparse beat programming mean that ‘Other’ initially creeps slowly into the consciousness with ‘I Germinate’ and ‘Lover, Go’. ‘the minutes’ saw a welcome full-on return to electronics for Moyet, something which fans of YAZOO had long wished for. It kickstarted a relationship with MADONNA producer Guy Sigsworth and has now been perpetuated with 2017’s ‘Other’. The release of 2013’s ‘the minutes’ sparked a real creative renaissance for ALISON MOYET.
