Americans may know Alison Moyet for her only top 40 entry, 1985’s “Invisible,” but global music aficionados have celebrated her charms as part of ’80s duo Yazoo with Erasure’s Vince Clarke and a half-dozen lovingly crafted solo efforts during the two decades following. “The Turn,” which launched at No. 21 in the United Kingdom last October, proffers all sides of the smoky, blues-soaked singer-songwriter’s persona: dramatic chanteuse (”Fire”), dance siren (”A Guy Like You”), pop master (”It’s Not the Thing Henry”) and smart sophisticate (”One More Time”). Meanwhile, Yazoo has reunited for a worldwide tour. After all this time, this “Turn” joyously brings Moyet full circle.
