You and Me Both

You and Me Both is the sound of a brilliant partnership dissolving in real-time. It is a record of profound contrasts, where Alison Moyet’s powerhouse, R&B-inflected vocals collide with Vince Clarke’s increasingly sophisticated and clinical electronic arrangements. Unlike their debut, which felt like a frantic burst of inspiration, this album is more spacious, deliberate, and undeniably colder. It captures the specific loneliness of being in a room with someone you no longer know how to talk to, translating that interpersonal silence into a series of stark, digital landscapes. It is the definitive 'divorce album' of the synth-pop era.
