Yazoo

Data updated on 2025-03-30 07:13:20 UTC
Almost 40 years since their formation, Yazoo - known in North America as Yaz - are still acclaimed as one of the UK’s greatest pop duos. During their short time together, Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet made two classic albums and released four memorable hit singles. Yazoo's debut album, 1982’s Upstairs At Eric’s, propelled the duo to commercial and critical success, peaking at number two in the UK album charts. Their follow-up, You And Me Both, was released subsequent to a successful UK/USA tour before they disbanded later in 1983. Following their breakup, Moyet went on to find further success as a solo artist, whilst Clarke continued his prolific music career with Erasure. Their legacy was a sentiment and a sonic style which sent shock waves through the early-80s charts, one that continues to be heard in the latest pop hits through to modern day electronica.

Following the ‘In Your Room’ collection, released in 2008, the pair embarked on a reunion tour with recordings from the tour later released as ‘Reconnected: Live’ in 2010. In 2018, Yazoo released ‘Four Pieces’, a comprehensive boxset comprised of their two studio albums fully remastered as well as a selection of remixes & BBC Sessions.
