Hoodoo by Alison Moyet
Hoodoo is an album by Alison Moyet, released in 1991. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “It Won't Be Long”, on 5 lists with a best position of #19.
Hoodoo, Alison Moyet's third solo album, came out on Columbia on 22 April 1991 in the UK, with the American release following that August. Pete Glenister produced most of it, and the guest list is a smart bunch: Kirsty MacColl, Steve Lillywhite, Marius De Vries, and the ex-Fine Young Cannibals pair of Andy Cox and David Steele.
The former Yazoo singer's big, bluesy contralto is the main event, and here it gets a rougher, rockier backdrop to push against. Four singles came off it: "It Won't Be Long", "Wishing You Were Here", the title track and "This House". It climbed to number 11 on the UK albums chart, and BMG gave it a deluxe edition in 2016.
