The 2015 reissue of Hometime celebrates Alison Moyet’s stunning return to music, originally released in 2002 after an eight-year hiatus. This critically acclaimed album marked a significant departure from her earlier work, showcasing a more organic and introspective sound, blending elements of acoustic pop, folk, and soul.
Produced by The Insects (known for their work with Massive Attack), Hometime is a beautifully crafted collection of songs that highlight Moyet’s rich, emotive vocals and poignant lyricism. Standout tracks include “Should I Feel That It’s Over,” a reflective exploration of self-doubt and resilience, the hauntingly beautiful “Ski,” and the heartfelt title track “Hometime.” The album weaves themes of love, loss, and personal growth into a lush and intimate sonic tapestry.
The 2015 reissue features remastered audio, bringing greater clarity and warmth to the original recordings. Additionally, fans are treated to bonus material, such as B-sides, alternate versions, and other rare tracks, offering a deeper dive into this era of Moyet’s artistry.
Widely regarded as one of her finest works, Hometime was met with critical acclaim and earned Moyet a BRIT Award nomination. This reissue reaffirms the album’s timeless appeal, inviting both longtime admirers and new listeners to experience its beauty and emotional depth anew.
