Every 80s child instantly gets transported to the dance floor when we hear these guys. Situation is a must.

Definitely

Alison Moyet is one of the most underrated female singers,..... such powerful vocals

[@surlechapeau]

Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "Situation" and "Only You"!! The singer Alison Moyet "Love Resurrection" shows off her powerful vocals from her solo career!!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Agree, you gotta check out Situation.

[@dcb1969]

I love "All cried out"

[@DC-fr7mo]

Love both!! 😁

[@scottowens4068]

Only you is another great song

[@kevcall]

And "Invisible".. and "The Other Side of Love"...

[@SRG1966]

She was eighteen or nineteen here. Alison Moyet is a gigantic talent, and still a big star in the UK. When I first heard Adele, I thought, "There's a girl who grew up listening to Alison". Check out some of her solo work, like "All Cried Out" or the more recent "When I Was Your Girl".

[@julielynn10]

Oh my god. That’s it - Adele sounds like her. Couldn’t place it before.

[@chinchillaka]

100% beautiful voice. Love Alison Moyet. I had the privilege of seeing her perform in 2017. Her voice is as amazing as ever. Her voice is even better live. Check out Situation. This is also fantastic.

[@dougcummings6000]

Yes! Definitely! Thanks for making that connection!

[@clifformsby6182]

[@fintonmainz7845]

"gigantic"? She's lost weight recently.

[@erict956]

Alison Moyet has an amazing voice which lends itself loads of different styles and Vince Clarke is a certified musical/electro-pop genius (Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure).

[@maccagrabme]

What people need to realise it that Vince Clarke is a synth guru, he created these songs with synths that could only play ONE note at a time, unlike the unlimited technology most musicians have at their fingertips nowadays.

[@kimcutts6153]

Alison Moyet (Lead Singer). Her voice is amazing. Love her. ❤

[@keithroberts4952]

Early 80's techno! Yazoo were way ahead of the game and the time!

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

Real club banger and roller skating fun. This electronic music was mind blowing at the time and still today. The whole 80s was one new sound after the other. I am so grateful I was a teen in the 80s. This is a rabbit hole you have to go down.

[@africareigns]

I too was a teen in the 80s. Good times. Surely the best decade in the 20th century?

[@michaelquinn2614]

Alf is a top class singer and has an amazing catalogue as a solo artist too. Vince, of course, will also be remembered for his career with both Depeche Mode and Erasure 😛

[@ingy2468]

Imagine being a kid back in the 80's in England? I was and it was such a privilege to have been a kid in the most creative decade ever for music and fashion and seeing others hear it for that first time and react as we did takes me back and makes me very emotional.

[@adebolabloke6962]

Let's not forget football hooliganism, the fashion that came with it, and of course the rave scene

[@Melrose-1]

Their biggest hit is “Situation” by the shortened name Yaz. The lead singer’s name is Alison Moyet. You should check out her solo song “Invisible”.

[@theborg]

They were known as YAZOO all over the world but the name YAZOO was taken by another band in America so they had to shorten it to YAZ.

[@Tr1k1e]

Situation was originally a B side song to Only You

[@theborg]

@@Tr1k1e I didn't know that. I have both albums. I really like State Farm.

[@theborg]

My favorite song by Alison Moyet is THIS HOUSE. It gives me the chills when I watch the live video.

[@Tr1k1e]

@@theborg I lean towards You and me both, Although Upstairs at Erics has some great songs. Love Midnight

[@adamdodgshon638]

They only released 2 albums. Vince Clarke, the man on the synths, was the main songwriter for Depeche Mode for one album and then he left and formed Yazoo with Alison Moyet. Two albums later they disbanded and after a couple of single projects Vince formed Erasure who are still going today. Yazoo we’re so much fun and a great duo, often mixing soulful blues with synth pop.

[@kimcutts6153]

Another great song by "Yazoo" was "Only you" When Alison went solo "All cried out" & my favourite "Invisible" ❤

[@saucyempress9803]

I love all cried out and invisible too xx

[@garydalziel9676]

And Is This Love, if you watch the video you'll see Eddi Reader of Fairground Attraction as one of her backing singers

[@Whippy99]

All Cried Out is a fantastic song. Alison’s voice is text book blue eyed soul.

[@kimcutts6153]

Back then Alison wasn't treated very well cos she didn't fit the bill on what ladies should look like. Which is crazy cos her fans loved her. Thank god she came back like a God. I love her, she's an Angel. ❤

[@scouseofhorror104]

'Nobody's Diary', is one of my all time favourite songs. Apparently Alison didn't like it much because she wrote it as a school girl. But then Vince did his magic on it like he always does.. 🥰🎵🥰🎵

[@brxee]

Brilliant song!

[@ajruther67]

@@brxee Love that song too

[@ajruther67]

I never knew when she wrote it

[@TheTimHall]

I love that reaction when Alison Moyet starts singing and they are like WTF just happened! 🤣Priceless! I was a massive Yazoo fan as a kid.

[@kilgh]

Alison Moyet! Such a talented vocalist. Saw her live in about 2017. Was the best concert I had been to ever! Her solo hits in the 80s were awesome. "Is This Love?" being the most famous. Her more recent stuff is amazing too. She collaborated with a new techno producer and went back to her electronic roots but with a modern spin. Really, really good stuff. Talent never dies.

[@tonycasey3183]

This is from one of my top twenty albums of all time, Upstairs At Eric's. The other big hit from that album was Only You, which would make a good reaction, but my favourite by far is Winter Kills.

[@schubee7277]

Winter Kills is the best on the album. I think Midnight is a close second

[@darkiee69]

Winter kills followed by In my room.

[@jolene0602]

Situation and Only you by them are worth a listen 🎶

[@NowVs1980s]

I was 12 yrs old when this song hit the charts. Dancing to this song back then was unreal. Best time as a teenager 🥰✨🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@susanjohnston8267]

This song featured in Tango and Cash with Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. Teri Hatcher played Stallones sexy dancing sister, and she entered through a foil curtain with silver outfit on to perform to this song. Vince Clarke is the chap on synth. He has played with Depeche Mode, Erasure and The Assembly.

[@loushark6722]

Alison is elite 🔥🔥🔥 back in the eighties this Queen was bodyshamed, can you believe it. Her voice thankfully transcended that ! 😺

[@TheDesropolis]

welp, it's time for "Situation." There *is* a rabbit hole called "Erasure" ("Oh L'Amour!," "Don't Dance," "Hideaway.") Also, the guy on keyboard started Depeche Mode with a few other friends from his church group. Pretty talented church group, I'd say.

[@2eleven48]

Alison Moyet....'Geneviève Alison Jane Ballard MBE is an English singer, songwriter and performer noted for her powerful bluesy contralto voice'. Wikipedia. (Note the MBE in recognition). She really took off with Yazoo, and has performed some great songs on her own since then. My God, that look of the 80's - scary!

[@melissagottlieb3381]

I was 17 in 1985. In the Army, just bought my first car. I'd drive all around the countryside rocking out to Yaz Upstairs at Eric's on cassette! Just as banging now!

Thanx a lot from the north of germany for THIS!Alison Moyet is my hero till today!

[@danielswood]

Alison has absolutely amazing vocals! Thanks for your reaction.

[@mdennis9496]

One of the first Techno Pop hits of the 80s, Yazoo ( also known as Yaz) they knocked this out of the park. Allison Moyet, the lead singer, went on to solo fame a few years later. Vince Clark, the producer, also went on to continued success as well.

[@gnomeofwar]

Just curious. Why the name change from Yaz to Yazoo ?

[@hakkou98]

the first time I listened to this music I was 7 years old and it remained in my memories until today

Alison Moyet was part of the first concert I went to. She was supporting David Bowie. I was 11.

Her worldwide album sales have reached a certified 23 million, with over two million singles sold. All nine of her studio albums and three compilation albums have charted in the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart, with two of them reaching number one. She has also achieved nine top 30 singles and six top 10 hits on the UK Singles Chart.

"Goodbye 70s, I'm tired of losing in your fashion war ..." 😃 Also not yet mentioned, I think -- Bad Connection, Where Hides Sleep, Twisting the Knife. The last two were Alison Moyet solo from the album Alf, I believe.

[@CinShiba]

Never heard of them until now 😂. She has an Adele like quality to her voice. Amazing vocals.

[@sasapejcin3568]

Much better in my opinion! You should hear her solo hits like Invisible or All cried out where you can hear how powerful her voice really is!

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

When adele first came onto the scene, Everyone in the uk was comparing to alison. Alison is one of the greatest singers our country has ever produced. She's phenomenal.

[@mkmstillstackin]

Oh yeah, Alison was definitely a trailblazer, in a sense, for the likes of Adele. As others have said, she's got a number of solo albums "Alf" and "Hoodoo" being two of my favorites. Songs "All cried out" and "It won't be long" are really good songs.

[@rjart4]

@@sasapejcin3568 Love letters is beautifully sung too.

[@thomasovens478]

Alison Moyet is a vocal force of nature. One of the UK's finest singer-songwriters. She is a truly rare and exceptional artists.

[@mikecaetano]

Heh, this takes me back to high school. Yazoo was an English synth-pop duo consisting of former Depeche Mode member keyboardist Vince Clarke and singer Alison Moyet. "Don't Go" from their debut album was a worldwide hit. A name clash with Yazoo Records meant they had to market themselves in North America under the name Yaz. The underrated synth pop bop of 1983, in my view, is still Yazoo "Nobody's Diary". Alison Moyet's vocals wonderfully complement Vince Clarke's synths. The audio on the youtube clip of the old video of that is horrible, so check out the youtube clip of the album version instead when you can.

[@alfreddreamerphotocomics4880]

I didn’t know that. The synths on this song, and some of Depeche Mode songs are similar though, so it makes synths.

[@drwatsonca6945]

Vince Clark wrote a lot of DM songs before he left.

[@cathyfisher7894]

The keyboardist look like he's in a trance,I was in 9th grade loved this song

[@gordonodenbark535]

I bought this record, upstairs at Eric’s, 1981 when I did my military service and I love it to this day. Alison Moyet have a wonderful voice. My favorits during this time was this song, ”you’re in the army now” ”Wind of change”.

[@kf9346]

So glad you pointed out the combination of her voice with the heavy synths! Even for us a the time it was something we noticed. Allison Moyet is the singer and she added a real mature soul sound to our music at the time (New Wave, synth pop...), she also has great songs as a solo artist as well. Vince Clark is the keyboardist, he was originally a member of Depeche Mode. Clark was one of the genius pioneers of electronic music and is revered as one oft he founders of electronica.

[@markcoffey6320]

80s best decade for all genre of music period !

In my high school in Miami, there was a big open area next to the cafeteria. On Fridays we had a DJ play dance music during our lunch hour. This brings back those memories of dancing during lunch.

[@leagreenall5972]

Vincent Clarke is the keyboard/synth guru and was the one who wrote that... he also wrote Depeche Mode 'Just Can't Get Enough', and then been the master for Erasure for nearly 40 years :D

[@ferrellprice2796]

Alison Moyet truly is a force to be reckoned with. Her vocals are amazing. A shame she never really got the big following on this side of the pond she had in the UK. Her biggest solo hit was "Invisible" from her solo album "Alf". Slightly less popular in the United States with a song called "Love Resurrection".

[@geoffwhiting6350]

The guy on the keyboard is Vince Clark a huge synth influence. The band with Alison Moyet started out as Yazoo, he's half of Erasure, part of Depeche mode and still plays

[@creativitycell]

Keyboard player synth genius Vince Clarke was originally in Depeche Mode but left early over musical differences and formed Yazoo! He then formed another band called Erasure.🙏😎

Vince Clarke is a musical genius! He left Depeche Mode and formed Yazoo with Alison Moyet. They made 2 excellent albums “Upstairs at Eric’s” and “You and me both”. Vince Clarke formed Erasure with Andy Bell and Alison Moyet had a very successful solo career. Yazoo we’re known as “Yaz” in the US. “Only You” is an excellent song to try as well. Please listen to “Just can’t get enough” by Depeche Mode as well.

[@user-yi5vc3mk4w]

I loved this in the 80s early eighties gem from the new romantic era yahoo Alison moyet went eventually solo and had a great career herself vince Clarke on keyboard originally formed early eighties synth pop group Depeche mode and later on in the eighties he formed erasure another great pop act he put together very talented guy back then and so was Alison moyet she was like the adale of her time just a shame she never had the same recognition but this song don't go just a brilliant pop 80s gem
