Alison Moyet - Changeling

Review by Óscar García Toledo

Album Review: Changeling by Alison Moyet – A Synth-Pop Gem That Sticks Alright, let’s talk about Changeling, Alison Moyet’s 2013 album that kinda sneaked up on me and stayed put. If you’re into electronic vibes with a dash of emotional punch, this one’s for you. It’s got all the hallmarks of classic Moyet—her rich, soulful voice front and center—but with a modern twist thanks to its electro and synth-pop backbone. Released in Europe and the UK under labels like Cooking Vinyl, it’s an album that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Now, I’ll be honest—I didn’t dive deep into every track right away. But two songs really stood out to me, and they’ve been stuck in my head ever since. First off, there’s “Right As Rain (Terry Farley & Leo Zero Box Energy Vocal).” Man, this version is just… smooth. Like butter-on-hot-toast smooth. The production has this warm, pulsing energy that wraps around Moyet’s vocals like a cozy blanket. There’s something about how her voice soars over those synths—it’s not trying too hard, but it still hits hard emotionally. And can we take a moment for those remixers? Terry Farley and Leo Zero clearly know their stuff because this remix takes the original and gives it a heartbeat you can dance to. I remember playing this track on repeat during a road trip, windows down, feeling like life was some kind of movie montage. Then there’s the title track, “Changeling.” This one’s more introspective, quieter in a way, but no less powerful. It’s the kind of song where you find yourself zoning out, letting the lyrics sink in. Moyet’s voice carries this raw honesty here, almost like she’s whispering secrets directly to you. The electronic beats are subtle, letting her vocals do most of the heavy lifting. I think what makes this track stick is how personal it feels—it’s like peeking into someone’s diary, except instead of cringing, you’re completely captivated. The rest of the album keeps the momentum going, especially with all the remixes of “Right As Rain.” Honestly, if you’re into remix culture, this album is a little treasure trove. From Guy Sigsworth’s take to the dub version by Terry Farley and Leo Zero, each one brings something new to the table without losing sight of the original vibe. Reflecting on Changeling, I realized something kinda funny: Alison Moyet doesn’t need bells and whistles to make an impact. Sure, the synths and beats are great, but at the core of it, it’s her voice and storytelling that pull you in. Listening to this album feels like catching up with an old friend who always knows exactly what to say. And hey, isn’t it wild how music can feel so futuristic yet timeless at the same time? Like, who else could drop an album in 2013 that sounds like it belongs in both 1985 and 2050? Only Alison Moyet, folks.
