Only the silence is over

"In "Should I Feel That It's Over", Alison Moyet avoids all nonsense and makes a great big target of your heartstrings - but without ever setting foot in schmaltz territory. Simple and melodic, the song starts out with a gently aching verse before heading, full sail, into a sweeping and beautiful chorus. Be prepared: this song will wedge itself in your brain and you will find yourself humming it at odd moments. The sign of a proper pop song. This single is the real MacCoy. Full marks and welcome back, ma'am!The two bonus cuts are also very high quality tracks recorded during the "Hometime" sessions. "Tonguetied" is sweetly melodic while "Nobody's Darling" ventures into sixties guitar-led territory. The choruses on both are killers and the latter track has odd hints of hey-day Blondie."
Very Haunting and Memorable!

"Another hit (at least in the UK) for Alison Moyet. Really. This went to #4 there, but was not marketed here, so didn't show up on our charts. Too bad, because this is true recorded talent. I find very few songs that I can listen to in the top 40 that I can't feel is a little bubble-gum.
This song gives the hope that there are still some artists out there that sing to the way they feel, and reaching for originality without trying to sound like everyone else.
This is truly a work of art. Alison should be considered one of the most versatile female vocalists today. Mariah and Brittney can't compare to the depth of Alison's soul."
Another great voice out there.....

"What a voice, arrangement and production on this
her first single from her lastest work, HOMETOWN.
I'm not sure where this song is going but for
the lucky ones who seek out great music, this
is a real treat. I'm hoping she gets out and tours
and music lovers round the world will find this
great music a nice change of pace. HOMETOWN over all
is great collection of tunes."
