The Minutes (stylised as the minutes) is the eighth solo studio album by English singer Alison Moyet, released on 3 May 2013 by Cooking Vinyl.
It is the first album of new material released since 2007's The Turn, and marked a return to her electronic roots. While creating the album Moyet stated that it was not aimed at the charts, though the album debuted at number five on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 13,536 copies, Moyet's highest-charting studio album since Raindancing reached number two in 1987.[1] The Minutes received overwhelmingly positive reviews from music critics, many of whom referred to the album as her "best in decades".
