ALISON MOYET SHARES THE NEW REWORKED VERSION OF HER DEBUT SOLO HIT ‘LOVE RESURRECTION’

By Danny / September 15, 2024

Having topped Amazon’s vinyl pre-order sales, completed a Piano Room session for Radio 2, and recharted her life story with a Classic Pop cover and a feature in The Times, anticipation for the October 4th release of Alison Moyet’s ‘Key’ album is at a high. Now Alison pushes that momentum forward as she shares the new ‘Key’ version of one of her biggest solo hits, ‘Love Resurrection’.


 
The new ‘Key’ version of ‘Love Resurrection’ streamlines the ’80s produced original with a punchy, live energy driven by Alison’s distinctive and powerful vocals. Evolved through decades of performance and compromising none of its initial spark, the song resonates keenly today with lyrics as relevant as they ever were. 
 
Alison says, “‘Love Resurrection’ is indeed a key track being the first record I released as a solo artist, then with no expectation of how it would land. The ‘Key’ album version is the one we take to the stage and has become a set highlight, a shared moment of determined and exuberant connection. It feels more pertinent now than it ever did.”
 
‘Love Resurrection’ became Alison’s first UK Top 10 hit when it was released in the summer of 1984. Together with another Top 10 peak for the follow-up ‘All Cried Out’, It positioned Alison for much greater success later that year with her #1 solo debut album ‘Alf’. Another UK #1 album, four more Top 10 hits, two more BRIT Awards and a Grammy nomination all followed.
 
Alison further reflects on her experiences around the time of ‘Love Resurrection’ in the fourth episode of her hit podcast series ’40 Moyet Moments’. Hosted by Steve Coats-Dennis, it has reached #1 on Apple Podcasts UK (Music and Music Interviews), Spotify UK (Music), Apple Podcasts Australia (Music Interviews) and Apple Podcasts Ireland (Music). 

Alison will also take another deep dive into her remarkable story with two sold out ‘In Conversation’ events and album signings at London’s Rough Trade East (October 4th) and Brighton’s Resident (October 8th) with her friend, the renowned writer Amy Raphael.
 
2025 will see Alison head out on a long-awaited world tour. All 25 UK and Ireland shows sold-out in days, while sales across all European shows are also in high demand. She recently extended the tour with an additional leg covering Australia and New Zealand, which will be her first shows in those countries since 2017.
