About
Hoodoo is the third solo album by singer/songwriter Alison Moyet. The album includes singles "It Won't Be Long", "Wishing You Were Here", "This House" and "Hoodoo". "This House" was the biggest hit of the four, charting at #40 in the UK singles chart. Moyet's record company wanted the pop hits to continue to flow but this left the singer feeling artistically compromised and under pressure to deliver. This is reflected in the sombre and melancholy Hoodoo which received little support or promotion from Sony, although lead single "It Wont Be Long" secured her a Grammy nomination for best song in 1991. The album includes contributions from Kirsty MacColl, Steve Lillywhite, Marius De Vries, ex-Fine Young Cannibals Andy Cox and David Steele, and "This House" was originally recorded as a duet with Vince Clarke/Erasure - this version however never surfaced since Sony Music, for reasons unknown, wouldn't allow it to be released.
