'Love Resurrection' is a pop song written by English singer-songwriter Alison Moyet and producers Jolley & Swain for Moyet's debut studio album Alf (1984). Released as the album's first single in June 1984, it reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] It was released in the US in summer 1985 following 'Invisible' and reached number 82 on the BillboardHot 100 that August.
In 2006, 'Love Resurrection' appeared in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The song can be heard on a fictional pop/rock/New Wave radio station called Flash FM.[2]
Background[edit]
Speaking to Number One in 1984, Moyet said 'Love Resurrection' was 'written over the phone': 'I'd had an argument with a friend and gone to bed like I usually do when I'm depressed. I wrote the lyric straight off and read it over to Steve [Jolley]. He called me back with a melody line and we went on from there.'[3]
Music video[edit]
There are two versions of the music video. The first version, made for the worldwide single release, shows Moyet at a Middle Eastern encampment in the desert. As she wanders through, the camera pans across the barren landscape and zooms in on a skull figure.[4] The video was shot in Israel and cost £17,000.[5]
The second version, made for the American market, showed a softer side to Moyet following the breakup of Yazoo. The video shows Moyet, dressed all in white, performing the song in a darkened venue with a backup band in front of a small audience.[6]
Reception[edit]
Upon release, Max Bell of Number One noted the song's 'MOR direction' and commented: 'Alf gives it loads but the Swain and Jollified electronic wash which accompanies is not entirely suitable and leaves you feeling that here is a catchphrase in search of a song. Tender but disposable.'[7] In a Number One review of Moyet's follow-up single 'All Cried Out', Paul Bursche praised 'Love Resurrection' as being 'magnificent, perhaps the best song of 1984'.[8] Jessi McGuire of Record Mirror noted a 'hideous similarity with Justin Haywood in the chorus', but added: 'Alison proves here that she's still the queen of the larger lady singers, with a cool bit of summer pop that ought to be a great hit.'[9]

Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet (/ËmÉɪ.eɪ/MOY-ay; born 18 June 1961) is an English singer, songwriter and performer noted for her powerful bluesycontralto voice. She came to prominence as half of the duo Yazoo (also known as Yaz), but has since mainly worked as a solo artist.
Her worldwide album sales have reached a certified 23 million, with over 2 million singles sold. All nine of her studio albums and three compilation albums have charted in the Top 30 UK Album Chart, with two of the albums reaching number one. She has also achieved nine Top 30 singles and five Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart.[1] Her most recent album, her ninth, Other, was released 16 June 2017.[2]
Early life[edit]Alison Moyet Love Resurrection Traducida
Moyet was born Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet[3] in the Essex town of Billericay to a French father and English mother.[4] She grew up in the nearby town of Basildon, where she attended Janet Duke Junior School and then Nicholas Comprehensive at secondary level.[5][6] After leaving school at 16, she worked as a shop assistant and trained as a piano tuner. She was involved in a number of punk rock, pub rock and blues bands in the South East Essex area during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the Vandals,[4]the Screamin' Ab Dabs, the Vicars and the Little Roosters[4] (the latter featuring Garrie Lammin, formerly of Cock Sparrer).
Music career[edit]1980s: Yazoo and solo beginnings[edit]
At the age of 21, Moyet's mainstream pop career began in 1982 with the formation of the synthpop duo Yazoo with former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke. In the United States, the band operated under the name Yaz, due to trademark issues with the Yazoo Records record label already operating in the region. Yazoo had several hits, including 'Only You', 'Don't Go', 'Situation' and 'Nobody's Diary', and recorded two albums, Upstairs at Eric's and You and Me Both.
In 1983, Clarke decided to disband Yazoo. While Clarke went on to form The Assembly (another duo, this time with Eric Radcliffe) and then Erasure (a duo again, with Andy Bell), Moyet signed to CBS, and began her solo career. In 1984, Moyet released her debut solo album Alf (titled after her punk-era nickname).[7]Alf was produced by the record producing and songwriting team of Jolley & Swain.[7] The album was co-written by the duo and Moyet, with the exception of 'Invisible', which was written for Moyet by Lamont Dozier.[7] The record was a hit in Britain, reaching No. 1 in the album chart. Alf spawned three international hit singles, 'Love Resurrection' (UK No. 10), 'Invisible' (UK No. 21) and 'All Cried Out' (UK No. 8). In the US, 'Invisible' was a Top 40 hit. In some European territories, a fourth single, 'For You Only', was also released.
In 1985, Moyet performed at Live Aid alongside Paul Young and later returned unscheduled to the stage (alongside Bob Geldof, David Bowie and Pete Townshend) to provide vocals on 'Let It Be' when Paul McCartney's vocal microphone at his piano failed, leaving him unable to be heard for the first stanza of the song. (Twenty years later, he overdubbed his vocal for the Live Aid DVD release.) Moyet also released a single not featured on Alf, a cover of the standard 'That Ole Devil Called Love', which climbed to No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart (it remains Moyet's highest-charting UK single).
Moyet had another big UK hit the following year with 'Is This Love?' (co-written by Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, under the pseudonym Jean Guiot),[8] followed in 1987 by her second LP, Raindancing. Raindancing spawned further hit singles, including a cover of Floy Joy's 'Weak in the Presence of Beauty' and 'Ordinary Girl'. In 1987, she scored another cover hit with 'Love Letters', which peaked at UK No. 4. The video for the song featured comedy duo French & Saunders.
1990s: Further recordings and hiatus[edit]
Following a period of personal and career evaluation, Hoodoo was released in 1991. The album sold respectably in the UK, and Moyet was nominated for a Grammy for the single 'It Won't Be Long'. However, the release of Hoodoo marked the beginning of an eight-year fight for Moyet to secure complete control of her artistic direction.[9] Like many similar artists (including Aimee Mann and the late Kirsty MacColl), Moyet was reluctant to record a radio-friendly 'pop' album simply for the sake of creating chart hits.[9]
Moyet's next album, Essex (1994), was also a source of controversy for her; in order for the album to be released, her label (now Sony) insisted that certain Essex tracks be re-recorded and re-produced, and that there be additional material remixed to create a more 'commercial' package. The video for the single 'Whispering Your Name' again featured Dawn French.
Following the release of Essex, Sony released a greatest hits compilation of Moyet's work. Singles entered the UK charts at No. 1 and, following a UK tour, was re-issued as a double CD set which included 'Live (No Overdubs)', a bonus live CD. Upon re-issue, Singles charted again, this time in the Top 20.

Due to prolonged litigation with Sony, Moyet did not record or release a new studio album for over eight years after the release of Essex.[9] During this time, however, she recorded vocals for Tricky, Sylk-130, Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds, and King Britt,[9] and was featured on the British leg of the Lilith Fair tour. 2001 saw the release of The Essential Alison Moyet CD, and in 2002 The Essential Alison Moyet DVD.
In 1995, she sang back-up vocals with Sinéad O'Connor for one of Dusty Springfield's last television appearances, singing 'Where Is a Woman to Go?' on the music show Later With Jools Holland.
2000s: Return to recording and touring[edit]

Voice was certified Gold in the UK within four weeks of its release.
In December 2006, Moyet signed a recording contract with W14 Music,[13] a Universal Music Group imprint. The deal saw Moyet reunited with label head John Williams, who was A&R man for her previous two albums, Hometime and Voice.

In an interview with Touchbase the following June, Moyet confirmed that she was still recording her album and that she was not rushing it.[17] On 22 January 2013 the singer announced on her Facebook page that she had signed a worldwide deal with London-based record label Cooking Vinyl.[18] Sony Music had earlier announced that Moyet's four solo albums on the label (Alf, Raindancing, Hoodoo and Essex) were being digitally remastered and would be reissued with B-sides and bonus material.

A tour of the UK and Ireland to promote the album was announced for October.[20] Describing the album, Moyet said: 'I avoided listening to anything during the process of writing and recording this album, choosing instead to be led by my own melodic voice, the one I now find myself with 30-years-in. Guy Sigsworth returns me to a programmer's world and marries it with perfect musicality. I have been waiting for him. We have made an album mindless of industry mores that apply to middle-aged women and have shunned all talk of audiences, demographics and advert jazz covers. This has easily been my happiest studio experience.'[21]The Minutes debuted at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart, her highest debut since 1987's Raindancing.[22]
