Yaz Artist Snapshot:

Formed by ex-Depeche Mode leader/synth wizard Vince Clarke and London soul/blues vocalist Allison Moyet, Yaz (originally known as Yazoo), at first seemed like an unlikely duo, but their electro-soul sound managed to chart repeatedly in the UK Top 10, as well as on the U.S. dance charts. Songs like "Only You" and "Situation" would become new wave standards of sorts. Although highly influential, the group was short lived and is remembered primarily as a springboard for Moyet's solo career.

Title Note

Yaz is known as Yazoo in the UK.

Yaz: Alison Moyet (vocals); Vince Clarke (synthesizer).

This is the first of two albums by the duo of synthesizer wizard Vince Clarke (who had left Depeche Mode after their first album) and powerhouse singer Alison Moyet. 1982's UPSTAIRS AT ERIC'S is an influential synth-pop classic which did much to establish the link between American-style R&B and European electronica, a marriage which defined much of the Top 40 throughout the '80s.

The album, named after the duo's living space in producer Eric Radcliffe's home during the recording, contains three classic singles: the bouncy "Don't Go," the dance-club staple "Situation," and the gorgeous ballad "Only You." A pair of Moyet-penned tunes, the soulful, pleading "Midnight," and the dark, foreboding "Winter Kills," are at least as strong as the hits. This is one of the all-time classics of British synth-pop.
