The Lead singer, Alison Moyet has such an incredible and iconic voice. She has many solo albums, but she sells much better in Europe. The synth player from Yazoo, Vince Clark, found a male singer named Andy Bell that sounded very similar to Alison, and they started the group Erasure, who I think you have listened to before. They are incredibly prolific. They were YAZOO in England, but in the U.S. there was already a group called Yazoo, so the changed it to YAZ.

@hyperfex Год назад

I think there just was a musical style or a record label called Yazoo, no other group.

Yaz also recorded one of the quintessential synth-pop ballads, the song "Only You." I think you guys would love it. Yazoo/Yaz had problems with their name. At the time they released their first album in the UK under the name Yazoo, but learned they couldn't use the name in the US because another band had released an album under that name. So, for the US release of their first album, they shortened it to Yaz. The singer is a woman named Allison Moyet, she had a great solo career after Yazoo/Yaz disolved. Her voice is absolutely incredible.

@davedave8602 Год назад

And there was another UK band named Yazz in the 80's, also a synth band with a female singer, so that made it even more confusing.

Although if you want more of their synth-pop sound, check out Don't Walk Away from Love or Don't Go.

"Don't Go" is a must-listen, and a great video. Alison Moyet had/has a huge voice, and it fit that time perfectly. Also, Vince Clarke (synth wizard) worked with bands like Depeche Mode for a while, and I think even Human League. He was one of the pioneers of that early-80s synth-pop sound.

@juniorvega42 Год назад

Simply put, Vince Clark is THE GOD of Synth Pop! Founding member and main music composer of Depeche Mode, then Yazoo (Yaz), The Assembly and finally, the super duo that is Erasure! No one had the pulse of the energetic dance sound like he did! I mean, his first ever hit was "Just Can't Get Enough" and it's become a cult classic. And that was in 1981! Add this song, then Don't Go, then the Erasure classics like Oh L'amour, Stop, Victim of Love and Sometimes, and no one came close to Vince when it came to danceable club anthem style synth pop! True legend!!!!

When Thatcher and the Tories came into power in the late 70s, Britain was the sick man of Europe. The previous labour government had gone cap in hand to the IMF because we were in such dire straits. We had a few bad year's in the early part of the 80s, then had the longest peace time expansion on record. The economy was booming. That, is actually a statistical fact.

@joesmith8725 Год назад

New wave, synth pop. Not only the '80s. It was popular in the late '70s and also early '90s. Lots of new wave had some disco infleunces too as well as punk , post-punk influences, because they were in the same era. Dance energetic music. But, yes. It was at its peak in the '80s. Yaz is similar Eurythmics. Annie Lennox also had strong voice. Grace Jones as well (she did some new wave, too).

@nettiemac 11 месяцев назад

@countlezard1546 Год назад

Love your reaction. I grew up in the 60's during the first British music invasion and began going to New Wave dance clubs in March 1980, right at the beginning. And you are right, it was more awesome than you can possibly imagine. The 80's was by far my favorite decade. Not just from music and movies, but things like home computers, the Internet, and gaming systems, video games at the arcades...etc...I could go on and on. Life changed completely in the 1980's, and most of the tech things we take for granted today originated in that decade. But it was the music that drove everything. And this song written and synthed by the legendary Vince Clarke was a HUGE hit that you could just get totally lost in on the dance floor. So Jay said a while back that he wanted to know how this type of synth-based music started, and who started it. Vince Clarke, The King of Synth, who started Yazoo and Erasure, was also the original founder of Depeche Mode in 1981. His biggest influence to start Depeche he said was the band OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark), a band you listened to once I think. But it was one of their later songs from 1986 or so. But it was OMD, in 1979 that really started the New Wave synth-based music style. Though they were influenced by German band Kraftwerk, another favorite of mine(Listen to their songs "The Model" and "Computer Love" if you want to feel what it was like to justcompletely phase out on the dance floor), OMD's 1st album came out in February 1980 and was really the beginning of New Wave/(or New Romantic in England) as it came to be called. They instantly became my favorite band when I first started hitting the clubs a month later. If you want to start at the beginning the most New wavey song you can listen to is OMD's song" Messages". "Messages" is the pure essence of New Wave music, and should be listened to before you listen to any more new wave synth songs. I would also suggest their other hits Electricity, Julia's Song, Enola Gay,and Almost. This was the beginning of New wave synth based music. And I promise you will not be disappointed Cheers

Vince Clarke, founding member of Depeche Mode, decided to go out on his own. Alison Moyet, British punk singer with an extremely soulful voice put an ad in a British music magazine. Vince replied to Alison's ad. The collaboration turned into the group Yazoo (shortened to just "Yaz" in the US). Although they only recorded 2 albums, their sound was highly influential. Alison went onto an extremely successful solo career. Vince went on to form the Synth group Erasure.

I remember when I first heard this song was in a Club in Hollywood. When the record would stop in the middle of the song the DJ would crank up the Base and man the floor would start shaking. He had that floor screaming like they were at a World Series with 1800 people dancing. It was Awesome. That was back in 1982 when I just got back from Mexico after 3 weeks and all they played there was Abba and Michael Jackson. Like every half hour on the radio station. That's when Los Angeles was getting HOT with all the dance music.

*YAZOO* - Goodbye 70's, Didn't I Bring Your Love Down, Winter Kills, Ode To Boy, State Farm, 5 more songs to add to Yazoo playlist

@joelscottarnold3262 Год назад

Truly an 80’s BANGER. I feel confident in saying that every one of my friends owned a copy of Upstairs At Eric’s. Dance floor HEAVEN!!

@MrSwitzerland1234 Год назад

This brought me back! I love Jay and Amber’s reaction to a song from my past! I remember the club and my outfits! But it was Amber that chair danced with “diva” attitude that was wonderfully delicious to me!

@jimmymac4559 Год назад

Such a great album. Had this on cassette. My sister’s car stereo ate it.

@Go-tee71 Год назад

😂 it got a "taste" of Yazoo!

@mossyman65 Год назад

Also agree with other comments on here you simply have to listen to "only you" which was there first hit. Coincidentally this song was originally the B side to "only you", it would later be released as a single in 1990 well after Yazoo had split, reaching number 14 in the UK charts.

I'm sorry I'm late to this but thank you sooooo much for doing another Yazzoo reaction ❤ and I implore you to do some Alison Moyet solo reactions. She's covered everything from 80's pop to soulful goth pop rock I'll call it (her Hoodoo era) to brit pop (Essex) to well adult contemporary pop of the time (Hometime) and back to synth pop (The Minutes) and everything between all of that. She's sorely underrated and underappreciated imo.

@SpiderMcGee Год назад

Alison Moyet has a super-strong voice, and has been solo since Yazoo broke up. She's done a lot of stuff, including one of the best versions of "Windmills of Your Mind".

Takes me back to my college days! No matter how tired I was, this song always got me back to the dance floor. Glad you liked it!

@EchoesDaBear 11 месяцев назад

According to my sister, this song was guaranteed to fill the dance floor - !! She's the one that introduced me to Yazoo (she's 13 years older than me, I was 5 when this came out) - I played the crap out of this album! Vince Clarke had such vision...whether it be with the origins of Depeche Mode, then Yazoo, Erasure...the guy knew synths, and how to groove! Then you add the deep, soulful vox of Alison Moyet - and you have this incredible duo! I'd HIGHLY suggest checking Only You - a beautiful ballad from this same album. It was Yaz here in North America as there was another outfit with the name Yazoo here at the time.

The pause at 2:54. Whole dancefloor freezes for a second then cranks it up HIGHER!! Love my youth.

@disconnexionsdotcom Год назад

Another club banger. I loved how these Euro bands crossed over into the black/latino clubs in the 80s. we used to break dance to this! I used to mix this with Aleem's "Release Yourself". Didn't matter the race or what country the artist was from, we all danced to the same joints.

@RobertSmith-js2kz Год назад

Definitely! Don't forget ART OF NOISE

@cflournoy1529 Год назад

Ooooohhhh weeeee!!! Don’t even talk about Release Yourself!!!!! We sweated out many a hairstyle dancing to that jam!!😂😂❤️

There was less division before so-called equity-pushers. Facts.

@mijou6292 10 месяцев назад

This to me, 40 yrs on, sounds almost like proto-house. I know early house DJs played Italo disco and some other European stuff, I wonder if this was on their radar.

@GroovyDJ Год назад

I remember when this cut came out, you could not go to a club or turn on the radio and not hear this track, it was such a huge huge hit.

@chrisvanderhoof9990 Год назад

"Only You" should be the next song from them! You should also start reacting to Alison Moyet solo material, starting with, "Invisible "!!

@ShamrockParticle Год назад

I didn't see it in your playlist, but Yazoo also has yet another gem, "Goodbye Seventies" - the lyrics are unfortunately dated, but the tone and beat are timeless. I will crank it up at busy intersections and wave at onlookers. 😁

@Whitebrowpriest Год назад

80s Pop music was so deliciously creative! Musicians weren't afraid to experiment in those days, and the record companies supported the creativity of their artists then, far more than they do now. Nowadays, it's so formulaic to what the record labels think sells the most, and that part of the problem as to why so much of the music today sounds the same, why most singers have almost identical cadences, and tone, why (in Hip-Hop) rappers all have the same flow, and why songs altogether seemingly have little to no character in them. the 80s truly was a special time for music, and I'm so glad I was able to grow up during those years.

@alexhorsburgh5986 Год назад

Top 10 in any chart of British synth pop of the 1980s and a banger for sure. Yes it still sounds like it's from the future. In clubs in the UK when it was out I can report the moves were a bit more moody..NOBODY did the robot. 😮😂❤

@tjmeyer4469 Год назад

AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long". You will love it!! Love your reactions! You two are great!!

@kbusby4824 Год назад

Second this suggestion.

@Codex7777 11 месяцев назад

Yazoo were a class act and went down a treat in the clubs! They could hardly fail, with synth god Vince Clarke (also of Depeche Mode and Erasure) providing the sound and the incomparable, marvelous, magnificent Alison Moyet on vocals! They only made 2 albums but what albums they were! Unlike a lot of 80s music, it still sounds great today! :)

@badtzmarutattoo Год назад

Imagine being Vince and having at least two incredible singers in Andy and Alison

@cjk5115 Год назад

This entire album is outstanding and you hit it on the head with the uniqueness of the sound. Vince Clark created some incredible soundscapes and truly Alison Moyet has one of the most unique, strong, sexy voices in music. I highly recommend Midnight and Only You from this same album - masterpieces.

@sisterdebmac Год назад

Love them. And Alison Moyet solo is incredible.

@PaulsWanderings 3 месяца назад

My sister got me hooked on this album when she was in college in about '85.

@lindseycarter579 Год назад

I had an older sister that had several Yaz records. I have loved them since I was very young. Would play my sister's records on her big record system 😂 and just lay on the floor listening. ❤

@traviscoleman4240 Год назад

Seminal album for me growing up. Upstairs at Eric’s is a great album front to back. I still love to listen to it on road trips from start to finish. Keep working your way through it.

@P.Galore Год назад

This song was such a big hit we got tired of hearing it. Now it is refreshing again.

@marleneobstnash5517 Год назад

Oh, yeah! This was a very popular song! It got crowded and sweaty on the dance floor when the DJ played this! Thanks for bringing back such happy memories of the 80s! ❤❤

@focalized Год назад

Most underestimate 80s synth tracks. They were feeling it in their way.

@brandilampe4570 Год назад

😲 I haven't heard this in sooo long!! ❤️ Thank you! Hey ya'll, I'm going to a STYX concert in a couple weeks! So excited!! I think you would love "Lonely People" Great bass & horns. Thanks for always making me smile 😃

@gennyjanedoe Год назад

So glad you got to check out Alison’s incredible voice! You have to listen to her version of “The first Time (Ever I Saw Your Face)”. Possibly the best version I’ve ever heard.

@tjpea7916 Год назад

In total agreement on that, it was an remarkable rendition especially because it brought something very new to a frequently covered song ❤️

@Toobeegort Год назад

Upstairs at Eric’s is the definitive 80s synth pop album, just so many great songs.

@pamelawertz498 Год назад

In the mid 80's there were some people who wore all black. Some some people were wearing crazy bright colors. Those 2 crowds would blend at a synth pop show.

@jimmybisk Год назад

Great tune! The laugh you hear in it has been sampled in so many 90's rave tunes! I really like 'Nobody's Diary' by them.

@abmqa Год назад

Alison Moyet! 😊😊❤😊

@daniellegoldsmith9782 Год назад

They are called Yazoo in England and went by Yaz here in the States. This whole album was on constant repeat in my car when it came out.

@TheDBrand1 Год назад

one of my all time fav bands but only made the two albums . Alison really show cases her voice in "Midnight " amazing vocals and Vince has been such a talent in all the bands he has been in .

@ToeTag1968 Год назад

You guys never disappoint! Thanks for circling back to Alison Moyet and Yazoo!

@twoscoops2 Год назад

If you want another futuristic synth pop/funk type song from the 80s try Freak-A-Zoid by Midnight Star. :) You loved their "No Parking On The Dance Floor" song

@hazeltyler89 9 месяцев назад

Alison's voice....wowwww. She stands up to Vince Clarke's synth like a BOSS.

@reginaphalange1830 Год назад

In the 80s, if my friends and I were in a club and leaving and Yaz come on - we'd still hit the dance floor - dead of winter in Chicago with coats on - you still danced. You NEVER walk out on Yaz. The 80s were THE BEST!!!! I had more fun than any human deserves. Funny thing - don't have a single picture of being out at any club or anywhere - different times.
