Alf

by Alison Moyet

The 3861st greatest album of all time

Alf is Alison Moyet's 1984 solo debut, blending pop, pop rock, blue-eyed soul and electronic elements. Produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain, the record pairs Moyet's deep, soulful contralto with glossy 1980s synthesizer arrangements and dance-oriented rhythms on several tracks, while also including slower, emotive ballads. The album marked her move from the synth-pop duo Yazoo to a solo career and showcases the contrast between her soulful voice and contemporary electronic pop production.
