  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Moyet’s decision to entrust herself entirely to Sigsworth’s guidance was a good one. Four decades in, Moyet is as relevant as ever

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Lyrically, Moyet has seldom been better, and her voice is simply ageless. Her partnership with Sigsworth is a fine, even seamless fit, making this consistent, and satisfying, top to bottom

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky
