{"product_id":"the_minutes","title":"The Minutes","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlison Moyet’s The Minutes is her eighth solo studio album, released in May 2013, and a decisive return to electronic music without simply revisiting her Yazoo years. Written with and produced by Guy Sigsworth, its 11 tracks combine synth-pop, R\u0026amp;B, club rhythms, and experimental programming around Moyet’s rich, commanding voice. “Horizon Flame” opens with sweeping strings and icy electronics, while “Changeling” introduces fractured rhythms and a dramatic chorus. “When I Was Your Girl” provides the clearest bridge to her earlier solo work, placing an emotionally exposed vocal against substantial bass, guitar, and strings. The defining quality is reinvention: familiar vocal power finding new expression through contemporary production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat partnership gives the album room to move between dance-floor energy and more inward-looking material. “Apple Kisses” sets Moyet against a snarling bass line, and “Right as Rain” draws on house music, while “A Place to Stay” turns toward the vulnerability of a torch song. “Filigree” supplies a brighter counterweight, reflecting on fleeting moments of happiness, before “All Signs of Life” builds into drum-and-bass rhythms and “Rung by the Tide” closes with bells, choir-like textures, and a darker atmosphere. Rather than treating electronics as a nostalgic backdrop, The Minutes makes them an active counterpart to Moyet’s expressive singing, connecting the synth-pop foundations of her career with a more exploratory musical direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Turquoise Smoke Vinyl","offer_id":67709477126458,"sku":"40010","price":50.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-10-15_at_7.19.49_PM.jpg?v=1792106554","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/the_minutes","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
