Guy Like You

UK three track CD pressing of this single from the former Yaz/Yazoo vocalist and successful solo artist, the second track lifted from her 2007 album The Turn. 'A Guy Like You' sounds like a hit from the very first listen. Joyous and uplifting it will get you up on your feet and singing along from the very start. Here, once again, is Alison Moyet on top form, cutting loose with a fabulous glint in her eye; an artist blending elements of '60s Soul and modern Pop to perfection. Features three versions of 'A Guy Like You': Jeremy Wheatley Radio Edit, Soul Avengerz Main Mix and Almighty Anthems Club Mix. Universal. Album Description

Finally!

This was an after thought with this new album of crap.
I must say Ms. Moyet: You've done it. You rock you raspy, throated beauty. Thank you for the dance and the voice. What a beautiful mix. May 22, 2008

Alf does Dance Music very well

Alison Moyet returns with a booty-shaker of a tune. Her first "dance" single since 1994's 'Whispering Your Name', has all of Alison's signature funky rock feel, but has disco sensibilty as well. A very enjoyable song, my only complaint is why wasn't this on the album 'The Turn' physical copies? This song was a UK i-tunes exclusive track that was so good they made a single from it. And because it is so good, it should have been on physical copies of the cd. There are 3 mixes, The Jeremy Wheatly Mix is more rock and has a harder edge, but the Almighty Mix is euro-pop and thumping beats at it's best. The Soul Avengerz Mix reminds me of the remixes they did of Don't Go and Situation in 1999, and can almost hear a mash-up coming. Seriously, buy this cd! January 7, 2008

Great Song all on its own!

Although the special edition of "The Turn" contains "A guy like you" the regular disc does not. I was thrilled Alison released it as a single and I bought it without having heard it. And I am so glad I did!! I like "The Turn", maybe not Alison's best work, but I like it. This single is NOTHING like the songs on the album. It is a GREAT song, very upbeat and danceable. The remixes are just what you would like - extended and up tempo, but both very different. The Almighty version is excellent - but I haven't met an Almighty mix I haven't liked. If I dinn't know better I would have thought "A Guy Like You" was taken from the Essex Album. Do yourself a favor, and buy this disc. January 2, 2008
