"Changeling" is a song by English pop singer-songwriter Alison Moyet, and is the third single released off her eighth studio album, The Minutes (2013).

Background

Moyet offered "Changeling" as a free digital download via her web official site in February 2013 in order to give listeners a taste of what was to come from her upcoming album.[1]

Changeling was under consideration as a possible album title. The idea was nixed once Moyet learned that singer Toyah Willcox had an album of the same name (The Changeling).[2]

Critical reception

Upon release, Contactmusic.com said: ""Changeling" finds Alison's voice on strong and seductive form, with its powerful, experimental and dramatic style indicative of the boundary-pushing album as a whole."[3] Digital Spy noted the song indicated that Moyet's "rich vocal still lends itself remarkably well to a swirling electronic paean".[4]

In a review of The Minutes, AllMusic noted the song's "dubstep breakdowns and drops",[5] while Record Collector highlighted its "investigating breakbeats".[6] The Yorkshire Times described the song as having "exciting twists".[7] PopMatters commented of the "synth line that points as precisely as the laser moving up between James Bond's legs."[8] musicOMH said the song "leans towards mid-to-late Madonna, with its touches of R&B and full-blown synth-pop". However, they criticised the production and backing, saying "it's extremely overproduced, with [Moyet's] vocal sounding rather robotic and contained."[9]
