Hometime

Hometime is the title of the fifth studio album of singer/songwriter Alison Moyet.
There is a gap of almost eight years between the release of Essex, the singer's previous studio album, and Hometime; this was caused by a dispute between the singer and Sony Music Entertainment, her former record label, who wanted her to produce what they saw as more "commercial" music. Hometime was the first album by Moyet released by her new record label, Sanctuary Records.
Much to the chagrin of Sony - who had refused to release the album - Hometime enjoyed a great deal of critical and commercial success; the album sold in excess of a quarter of a million copies in the UK within the first months of its release, Moyet became one of the top five bestselling female artists of 2002, and was nominated for a BRIT Award and a Mercury Music Prize that year.
Hometime was produced by The Insects (Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke) who had previously worked with Massive Attack and Madonna among others.
