Alison Moyet: English Singer on her upcoming album 'Key' and her New Zealand tour

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Alison Moyet rose to fame in the 80’s as one half of the synth-pop duo ‘Yazoo’, going solo just one year later as the duo disbanded.

Her career has spanned four decades, 9 studio albums, two of which went to number one on the charts, and 23 million albums sold.

She’s returning to New Zealand for the first time in eight years, bringing her upcoming album ‘Keys’ to Kiwi audiences.

Moyet told Mike Hosking that singing live is her main focus, and so everything she does in terms of recording is to direct it towards the stage.

She’s been making music and evolving as an artist for 40 years, and Moyet revealed that while there is still some anxiety when it comes to making new music and going on tour, she knows she has a group of steadfast supporters.

“I’m really excited to be there for them,” Moyet told Hosking.

Having performed for so many years, Moyet is aware that this won’t last forever.

“Every time I go on tour, I’m very aware that it could be the last time that I do it,” she said.

“So just the, the, the thought that I could come out there at least one more time and have a chance to perform is you know, it's obviously an exciting thing to be able to do.”
