Other

"Having referred in press surrounding its release to the "invisibility" that comes with being a middle-aged woman, Alison Moyet's ninth studio album, Other, finds the vocal powerhouse taking on the role of astute observer. It was produced by Guy Sigsworth, who also produced 2013's The Minutes, a recording that returned Moyet to an electronic palette and resulted in her highest-charting record in the U.K. since the '80s. Other shares that album's dramatic, orchestral-electronic flare, but with actual acoustic instrumentation and a sometimes frostier, more intense tone".

"The critical renaissance enjoyed by Alison in recent years surprised no one, except perhaps the singer herself. The reputation of her voice remained undiminished, but her skills as a songwriter have gathered strength and corresponding acclaim, reaching a new high with 2013's The Minutes, which got her back into the UK Top 5 for the first time since 1987.Other moves things further along nicely with a broad palette of styles contributing to a rich tapestry of contemporary and largely accessible songs that are among her best yet".
