Hoodoo is the third solo album by singer/songwriter Alison Moyet.
The album includes singles "It Won't Be Long", "Wishing You Were Here", "This House" and "Hoodoo". "This House" was the biggest hit of the four, charting at No. 40 in the UK singles chart.
Moyet's record company wanted the pop hits to continue to flow but this left the singer feeling artistically compromised and under pressure to deliver. This is reflected in the sombre and melancholy Hoodoo which received little support or promotion from Sony, although lead single "It Wont Be Long" secured her a Grammy nomination for best song in 1991.
The album includes contributions from Kirsty MacColl, Steve Lillywhite, Marius De Vries, ex-Fine Young Cannibals Andy Cox and David Steele. It was suggested that "This House" be recorded as a duet with Vince Clarke of Erasure fame, however the duet never materialised.
A deluxe edition of 'Hoodoo' was released by BMG on 25 November 2016.
