Yazoo squeezed a whole world of feeling out of just two people. When Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode in 1981, he teamed with singer Alison Moyet — and their contrast became the magic. Clarke's crisp, minimalist synth-pop programming met Moyet's huge, bluesy, soul-drenched contralto, a voice that sounded like a classic R&B singer beamed into a machine future. Their debut «Upstairs at Eric's» (1982) is a synth-pop landmark, home to the tender ballad «Only You», the pulsing «Don't Go» and the club favourite «Situation», a massive US dancefloor hit. A second album, «You and Me Both», topped the UK chart just as the duo split after barely eighteen months, leaving only two records but an outsized legacy. Clarke went on to form Erasure, Moyet to a successful solo career, and «Only You» became a standard, endlessly covered and used in film and television. Known as Yaz in the United States, they remain the template for the whole electro-pop-meets-powerful-vocalist tradition. Emotional, economical and instantly recognisable, Yazoo proved that a drum machine and a great singer could break your heart.
