  <review>On May 6th Cooking Vinyl are proud the present 'the minutes', a new album by world-renowned musical icon Alison Moyet, who has achieved sales of more than 20 million, both as a solo artist and half of influential duo Yazoo. Her first album since 2007,'the minutes' was produced by Guy Sigsworth, known for his work with Robyn, Björk, Goldie and Madonna. It finds Alison's voice as strong and seductive as ever, with immaculate-quality songs that are powerful, dramatic and captivating. It's experimental, but also keeps standards high-in-line with her illustrious track-record of pop hits. Clearly indicating a new artistic lease of life,'the minutes' is arguably Alison's most creatively- brimming album ever. It has subtle parallels to her synthpop past, but is also bang up-to-date, taking in elements of high-end pop smashes, R&amp;B, modern club sounds and electronic experimentation.</review>
