t the beginning of the 1980s Alison Moyet was discovered by Vince Clarke who - in search of greater independence - had left the successful band Depeche Mode. The soulful singing style of Moyet and the electronic innovative pop that Clarke made melded well together in the group Yazoo with hits such as Only You and Don’t Go. However after a number of years Moyet went her own way and forged a solo career during which she demonstrated a somewhat more traditional sound. She recorded several covers (such as The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face and That Ole Devil Called Love) but she also wrotefine songs herself such as Love Resurrection and of course the expressive song AllCried Out. This arrangement by Peter Kleine Schaars does justice to the atmosphere of the original song.
