Alison Moyet – shares the newly reworked version of ”Filigree” taken from the album ”Key” out October 4th

The build up to the October 4th release of Alison Moyet’s reworked career retrospective ‘Key’ has demonstrated a continuing fan devotion for an artist who has achieved two #1 albums, six Top 10 singles, three BRIT Awards and a Grammy nomination. With substantial pre-orders, phenomenal ticket sales and high-profile media moments such as Radio 2’s Piano Room session, Alison is now building momentum for the next step in a storied career. Today, she extends that growing interest by sharing the new preview track ‘Filigree’.

Speaking on the meaning of this song Alison says: “Sometimes in life, we are met with the overwhelming urge to leave, losing faith that the next corner reveals a gift of light. It takes the dark to name it. Joy is like a mayfly. It comes for minutes at a time. That’s what makes it remarkable.”

Listen HERE.

First featured on the 2013 album ‘the minutes’‘Filigree’ is one of the distinctive reworkings presented on the ‘Key’ album. Co-written with Guy Sigsworth (Björk, AURORA), and originally presented as a glacial, unhurried electro-pop song, here it stands apart with its delicate and intimate folk arrangement courtesy of producer Sean McGhee. The recording features 5 x BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards winner Chris Wood on electric guitar, John Garden on piano and Ben Nicholls on double bass.
 
‘Filigree’‘So Am I’‘Such Small Ale’ and ‘All Cried Out’ collectively provide a window to the nature of the ‘Key’ album. There are hits, fan favourites and deep cuts: all reconstructed by varying degrees in order to create a cohesive set of songs separated by decades in their creation. Alison’s voice – selective in its language and informed by the lessons of experience – consistently provides character, nuance and resonant, emotional depth.
