Alison Moyet shares new reworked version of So Am I
By Dan Biggane | July 12, 2024
Alison Moyet has shared a new reworked version of So Am I from her upcoming album Key, out 4 October.
One of the lesser-discovered gems from Alison’s published works, So Am I features on her 1994 album Essex. Lyrically, a wry and sardonic out-of-body observation of defeat, it is counted among Moyet’s favourites.
The Key version refocuses attention on the song in a collection which aims to unify her back catalogue into a cohesive form for live presentation.
Watch the lyric video below:
Written with Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds, So Am I in its new iteration, joins the iconic re-visited All Cried Out and the brand-new song Such Small Ale in previewing the Key album.
A set that contextualises and acknowledges 40 years of original work, gathering together hits and deep cuts alike for an album where no re-packaging was desired. Produced and arranged by Sean McGhee, So Am I is also graced by Suede guitarist Richard Oakes, one of Alison’s other key collaborators in this collection.
No.1 Artist
Key, featuring 16 reworked singles, fan favourites and deep cuts boosted by two new songs, quickly became Amazon’s No.1 selling vinyl, while the world-class talent that propelled Alison to achieve two No.1 albums, six Top 10 singles, three BRIT Awards and a Grammy nomination was put back in the spotlight with a stunning Radio 2 Piano Room session.
In addition to Amazon’s popular exclusive signed orange double-vinyl with an alternate cover, her official store offers a turquoise double-vinyl, a white double-vinyl and a CD, while all bundles add a signed art print. In addition, there are retailer exclusive versions available from The Sound of Vinyl (a limited run signed marble black-and-white double-vinyl), select indie stores (a splatter double-vinyl) and HMV (yellow-and-black smoke double-vinyl).
