ALISON GIVES FIRST INTERVIEW ABOUT "THE MINUTES".

Alison Moyet appeared on the Graham Norton show on BBC Radio 2 today to speak about her forthcoming album, ‘the minutes’, which is released in the UK on May 6. The singer revealed how the album got its title. 

“Basically, we all feel slightly cheated when our life does not end up being this stream of joy and one thing that you do understand when you come middle aged is that it was never about that, it was always a lie, that it was always about fantastic minutes that are suspended in years, and that’s what this is about” Alison told listeners about the new album. “All the years of fighting to make a creative record for myself rather than do a covers album. These are my minutes.”

In the interview, Alison revealed that the sound of the single of ‘When I Was Your Girl’ is quite unusual for the album and was the one that radio was more likely to play.

Another hint about ‘the minutes’ is that some tracks are very much about the single whereas others are about the vibe of the track. Graham noted that Alison’s voice is more produced on some of the tracks than he had heard it before.

Alison warned fans to expect the electronica of a very programmed, produced album as opposed to electro.

The singer revealed that she and Guy had written the album over three years, having rejected lots of album deals that were only about Etta James covers. And praised her new record label Cooking Vinyl for taking the record on without trying change it.

Alison confirmed that touring this album would involve computers and screens and would allow her to revisit Yazoo tracks and early solo material that she has been unable to in recent solo tours with a generic band.

Intriguingly Alison admitted that she thinks this will be her favourite album of her own in that it works lyrically and sonically for her.
