To celebrate 40 years as a solo artist, Alison Moyet releases Key, a collection of 16 reworked singles and deep cuts, alongside two brand new tracks
It is, says Alison Moyet, quite remarkable to think that she’s been singing for ‘some serious years’. She formed her first band at 16 in Basildon, was in Yazoo at 20 and released her first solo album Alf at 23. In the four decades since Alf, Moyet’s solo work has been defined not only by her refusal to repeat herself, but by that extraordinary voice: still recognizable in an instant, still capable of stopping you in your tracks, a voice big enough to fill a stadium and yet intimate enough to make you feel as though she’s singing just for you.
Key is a blazing showcase of the depth and breadth of Moyet’s song writing ability that unlocks who she is as a creative artist. With nine studio solo albums to choose from to celebrate her fortieth year as a solo artist, Moyet wanted ‘to look at the trajectory of those decades and explore songs that, in their original form, were never fully realized or have had their relevance to me altered by time.’
Key distils 40 years of music making, presenting a cohesive overview of a long and dazzling journey. ‘I hope this collection will be the key to those unopened doors. Let yourself in.’

I Love Alison Moyet. Such a beautiful, breathtaking voice!
One of my all time favorite Albums Upstairs at Eric’s. The song “Only You” was played at my wedding. It would be incredible to see Allison in concert. Wonderful to hear that she is still making music.
This would be the show of my life.
I’m probably the same age as Allison and thoroughly enjoyed dancing in the 80s to Yaz. What an incredible voice she has. Would love to hear reworked classics!
Takes me back to my youth. I want to go!
I want tickets to the show because I never got to see her when I was 16!!!
First time listening to music in Oregon as a new comer
Take me back to the 80s- pre Adele
Wow, I would live to see Alison Moyet again! I saw her 25 or more years ago at Carré in Amsterdam. Great voice!
I would love to take my friend to this show! He introduced me to her music some 30 years ago. What a voice, and what an ambiance she creates with it!
She is still lovely in song and everything. Would love to attend.
Her music reminds me of all the stuff my dad would listen to! Would be a lot of fun to go!
Such a talent!
Yaz is quintessential 80s in the best way possible. Would love to see her and reminisce about the good old days!
Oh my gosh!
Her music got me through my first duty station/tour in the Navy as a young medic. Should’ve gone to college —was the age—but circumstances within an immigrant mom family/divorce/lack of trust —changed my life course. But the memories of this music kept me up. Even if not a lucky winner, lucky in many ways. Wishing all the best!
Would love to go!
Brings back memories. Thanks for the opportunity
would absolutely love to go!
Already ready for this!
An absolute icon!
Love Yaz! Upstairs At Erics was a masterpiece. Would love to see Alison live! Please pick me 🙂

I love her, Yaz was a favorite band of mine in the 80’s.
Love her voice!
Oh my!!! I’d love to see her live!! I would absolutely be thrilled to go this show and have a girls night with my best friend!!
I went down a deep Alison Moyet rabbit hole during the pandemic. She’s mesmerizing. “Only You” gets me every time. This would be once in a lifetime. Thank you!

I believe that Alison Moyet is a talented and under appreciated artist! I would LOVE to see her live!
i think its long overdue i see her live
The sound of my youth! I’d love to see her in person at last
Would simply be fabulous!
Having danced the nights away in the 80s to the tunes of yaz, well it’d be sweet to hear Alison’s fine voice in person after all these years!
Yaz alert!
Would love to win tickets – a fan for many many years.
I would love to hear her incredible voice while surrounded by others experiencing and enjoying the same thing!
The neon haze of the ‘80s still hums and YAZ was the soundtrack to my coolest delusions. Alison Moyet’s voice—soulful, untouchable—as I danced to Don’t Go and lost myself in Only You. It wasn’t just music; it was a pulse, a prophecy. Decades later, that voice still lingers…. Seeing her live wouldn’t just be a concert—it would be a resurrection. The past and present entwined eternal and exquisite. Not that I want to relive my teens but this was the best part!! The music!!!
