In 1983 Moyet and Clarke decided to disband Yazoo. While Clarke went on to form The Assembly (another duo, this time with former Undertones vocalist Feargal Sharkey) and then Erasure (a duo again, with Andy Bell), Moyet signed to CBS (in part because it had been Janis Joplin's label), and began her solo career.

Solo career
In 1984, Moyet released her debut solo album Alf (titled after her punk-era nickname). Alf is the debut solo Studio album of singer/songwriter Alison Moyet, her first since leaving 80s electro-pop band Yazoo / Yaz. Alf was produced by the noted UK producing/songwriting team of Swain and Jolley. Steve Jolley (1950 and Tony Swain ( 20 January 1952) were a successful pop Musician, songwriting and record production The album was co-written by the duo and Moyet, with the exception of "Invisible", which was written specifically for her by Motown legend Lamont Dozier. "Motown" redirects here For the city see Detroit Michigan. Lamont Dozier (born June 16, 1941) is an American Songwriter and Record producer. The record was a huge hit in Britain, reaching #1 in the album charts. Alf spawned three international hit singles, "Love Resurrection" (a UK #10), "Invisible" (UK #21) and "All Cried Out" (UK #8). In the US, "Invisible" was a Top 40 hit (something Yazoo had never achieved). In some European territories, a fourth single, "For You Only", was also released.
In 1985, Moyet performed at the historic Live Aid concert alongside Paul Young, and later returned unscheduled to the stage (alongside Bob Geldof, David Bowie and Pete Townshend) to provide emergency vocals on Let It Be when the microphone on Paul McCartney's piano failed, leaving him unable to be heard. Live Aid was a multi-venue rock music concert held on. The event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia Paul Antony Young (born 17 January 1956) is an English pop musician Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof, KBE, known as Bob Geldof (born 5 October 1951, is an Irish singer David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger.

Moyet had another big UK hit the following year with "Is This Love?" (co-written by the Eurythmics' David A. Stewart under the pseudonym Jean Guiot), followed in 1987 by her second LP, Raindancing.

The video for the song featured comedy duo French & Saunders. French & Saunders is a British Sketch comedy Television show written by and staring BAFTA Award -nominee Dawn French
Following a period of personal and career evaluation, Hoodoo was released in 1991. Hoodoo is the third solo album by singer/songwriter Alison Moyet. Hoodoo took several steps away from the glossy pop sheen of Raindancing and was a far earthier and more personal album. Compared to her earlier releases, Hoodoo received little label support and only minimal promotion. The album sold respectably in Britain, and Moyet was nominated for a Grammy for the single "It Won't Be Long". The Grammy Awards (originally called the Gramophone Awards)—or Grammys —are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences However, the release of Hoodoo marked the beginning of what was to become a long fight for Moyet to secure complete control of her artistic direction. Like many similar artists of Moyet's calibre (including Aimee Mann and the late Kirsty MacColl), Moyet was reluctant to record a radio-friendly "pop" album simply for the sake of creating chart hits. Aimee Mann (born September 8, 1960) is an American, rock Guitarist, bassist, Singer, and noted Songwriter Kirsty Anna MacColl ( 10 October, 1959 &ndash 18 December, 2000) was an English Singer-songwriter.
Moyet's next album, Essex (1994), was also a source of controversy for her; in order for the album to be released, her label (now Sony) insisted that certain Essex tracks be re-recorded and re-produced, and that there be additional material remixed to create a more 'commercial' package. Essex is the title of the fourth Studio album of singer/songwriter Alison Moyet. is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Minato Tokyo, Japan, and one of the world's largest Media conglomerates with The video for the single "Whispering Your Name" again featured Dawn French. Dawn Roma French (born 11 October 1957 is a Welsh actress and Comedian.
Following the release of Essex, Sony released a greatest hits compilation of Moyet's work. Singles entered the UK charts at #1 and, following a UK tour, was re-issued as a double CD set which included "Live (No Overdubs)", a bonus live CD. Singles is the title of the Greatest hits album of singer Alison Moyet, released in 1995 Upon re-issue, Singles charted again, this time in the Top 20.
Due to prolonged litigation with Sony, Moyet did not record or release a new studio album for over eight years after the release of Essex. During this time, however, she recorded vocals for Tricky, Sylk-130, Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds, and King Britt, and was featured on the British leg of the Lilith Fair tour. Tricky (born Adrian Thaws 27 January, 1968) is an English musician Ocean Colour Scene (often abbreviated to OCS) are an English Britpop band from Birmingham. King Britt is an American DJ and Record producer from Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

In August 2002, after years of holding out and refusing to compromise, Moyet was finally released from her Sony contract. Moyet signed to Sanctuary Records and released her first studio album in eight years, Hometime, an album which Sony had refused to release. Sanctuary Records is a Record label based in the United Kingdom and a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. Hometime was produced by The Insects, who had also produced works by Massive Attack and Madonna. Hometime is the title of the fifth Studio album of singer/songwriter Alison Moyet.
