Alf by Alison Moyet
Alf is an album by Alison Moyet, released in 1984. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love Resurrection”, on 6 lists with a best position of #17.
Alf, the first solo album from Alison Moyet, came out on CBS in November 1984, and it carries the name she used to go by. It launched her solo career once the synth-pop duo Yazoo had folded, and this time the spotlight belongs entirely to that voice: a big, bluesy contralto that could make a drum machine sound like it had a pulse.
The singles pile up. "Love Resurrection" struts in on a slick, pulsing groove, "All Cried Out" lets the voice ache and swell, and "Invisible" and "For You Only" kept the run going. British record buyers sent the album all the way to number one on the albums chart, and BMG gave it a deluxe reissue in 2016.
