All Cried Out (Alison Moyet Song)

It was written by Moyet and producers Jolley & Swain. The song peaked within the top ten on both the Irish and the UK Singles Chart, and also reached the top twenty in Switzerland. Critical reception Upon release, Paul Bursche of '' Number One'' praised the song as following up "Love Resurrection" with "ease". He commented: "In no way am I the first to rave about this exquisite voice, nor, I suspect, shall I be the last. But I wouldn't let the voice distract me from the song. Alison Moyet not only has a great voice, she's also some songwriter." Jim Reid of '' Record Mirror'' commented: "Over a smoothly winding Imagination type backing, Alf offers a perfunctory plea of passion that says more about her vocal coach than her state of mind." Frank Edmonds of the ''Bury Free Press'' gave the song an 8 out of 10 rating and describe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
