The Yearning

Modeling his orchestral pop songs after the teenage tragedies and melodramatic heartbreaks of early girl groups and '60s chamber pop, British songwriter/producer Joe Moore began the Yearning with vocalist Maddie Dobie in 2012. Their first long-form release, Dreamboats & Lemonade, came out in 2014. The duo shifted into the styles and production techniques of the '70s with the arrival of 2020's Only When I'm Dancing. At first crafting his nostalgic studio compositions in the style of Bacharach and the Beach Boys, Moore recruited the teenaged Dobie to bring his songs to life, also enlisting a host of session musicians. The Yearning first appeared in the form of several mini-albums, beginning with 2012's Jukebox Romance and following it in 2013 with Still in Love, both on Elefant Records. A full-length surfaced in 2014 in the glowing harmonies and throwback tones of Dreamboats & Lemonade. Th more-melancholy Evening Souvenirs, which featured the Cotswold Voices choir on select tracks, followed in 2016. Branding it a mini-LP, Take Me All Over the World arrived in January 2018, just a few days after Dobie's 21st birthday. Gliding effortlessly into strings-tempered disco and '70s pop-soul, but still concerned with matters of the heart, the Yearning returned with Only When I'm Dancing in September 2020.
