Alison Moyet's first material in five years is everything you'd expect - a beautiful, soulful, timeless torch song of a track lost somewhere between early 20th century soul club and up-to-the minute romance.
Five years away is no gap at all in a career that has spanned a quarter of a century, and One More Time carries the correct level of maturity and familiarity to take her return to the level we would expect. As a first offering from forthcoming album The Turn, it promises much.
Moyet has always been one of the UK's more unique and precious female vocalists. The Anamatronic of her day, she's long outgrown the camp disco of Yazoo to take her place amongst our national treasures.
In short, One More Time is the slow waltz at the end of the '80s disco, a song by which to take your loved one by the hand, lead them onto the dancefloor and smooch long and hard until the lights come up. Beautiful.
