Yaz — artist
Yaz, also known as Yazoo in the UK, was a British synth-pop duo formed in 1981 by vocalist Alison Moyet and keyboardist Vince Clarke. Their music is characterized by a blend of Moyet's soulful, blues-influenced vocals and Clarke's minimalist electronic arrangements, which helped define the early 1980s synth-pop sound. Notable influences include the burgeoning electronic music scene and Clarke's prior work with Depeche Mode. Yaz is best known for their hit singles "Only You" and "Don't Go," which showcase their distinctive combination of emotive vocals and catchy synth melodies.
