Alison Moyet - That Ole Devil Called Love (CBS)

A smoochy number. One to play while you're with your loved one. I don't think it will be as big a success as its three predecessors but Alison does have a large following, enough to make it into the Top 30. Not one of my favourites, though. (Marshall O'Leary, Smash Hits, March 14, 1985)

The lights dim, an expectant hush descends upon a select audience, a piano tinkles, a trumpet softly blows and a voice that's blue and deep starts singing a Billie Holliday classic from the 30s. Alf has taken a break from the usual repertoire of pop-soul for young marrieds to sing something that's a bit more challenging. And she sounds a lot like Cleo Laine. Whether it's a calculated effort to broaden her appeal or a reflection of Alison's avowed love of the blues and jazz, I don't know. It'll be massive, whatever. (Adrian Tierney-Jones, No 1, March 9, 1985)
