"All Cried Out" was Alison Moyet's second single from her debut album Alf, released in 1984, and she wrote it with her producers, Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. Swain plays keyboards, Tim Goldsmith drums, and Moyet sings lead and stacks up her own backing vocals, that big, bruised voice pushing against a sleek pop backing.
It went top ten in both Ireland and the UK and top twenty in Switzerland. The reviews split. Number One's Paul Bursche said it followed "Love Resurrection" with ease and reckoned she was a songwriter as well as a singer, and the Bury Free Press gave it 8 out of 10, but Record Mirror's Jim Reid heard a smooth backing and a plea of passion that sounded more trained than felt.
