It was written by Moyet and produced by Dave Dix. BackgroundHaving recording her second studio album Raindancing while living in Los Angeles, Moyet returned to live in England after completing a world tour. Moyet's record company, CBS, wanted her to continue producing pop hits but this left the singer feeling artistically compromised and under pressure to deliver. During the period after returning to England, Moyet began a songwriting partnership with Pete Glenister, who had been Moyet's guitarist for part of the Raindancing tour. Keen to have more artistic freedom, she suggested to CBS that Glenister should produce her. Muff Winwood of the label's A&R division granted Moyet permission to record the album she wanted to, with Hoodoo being released in April 1991.[1][2] "This House" was released as the album's third single in September 1991. It was the most successful single from Hoodoo, reaching No. 40 in the UK. It remained in the Top 100 for five weeks.[3] The song had originally been recorded and released as the B-side to Moyet's 1987 non-album single "Love Letters". For Hoodoo, it was re-recorded with Dave Dix as producer.[4] On her official website, Moyet has cited the song as one of her favourites from Hoodoo.[5] Release"It Won't Be Long" was released by Columbia on 7" vinyl, 12" vinyl, cassette and CD in the UK and across Europe.[6] The B-side, "Come Back Home", was exclusive to the single.[7] Two additional tracks were included on the 12" vinyl and CD versions of the single; Moyet's previous hit singles "Love Letters" and "That Ole Devil Called Love".[8][9] PromotionA music video was filmed to promote the single. Later in 2009, Moyet would perform the song on The Paul O'Grady Show to help promote her compilation The Best of: 25 Years Revisited.[10] Critical receptionDescribing the song as "gospel-tinged", American magazine People commented: "When she sings with minimal acoustic backing, as on "This House" or "Wishing You Were Here," she showcases her gifts best."[11] The Greyhound (Loyola University Maryland) stated: "Without missing a beat, Moyet slides earily into the beautiful balladry of "This House"."[12] Musician wrote: "...she also understands that style is meaningless without emotional content. From the anger of "Rise" to die anguish in "This House," that's what keeps this collection from turning into just another singer's showcase."[13] Tom Demalon of AllMusic picked the song as a standout track, commenting: "...she's still more than capable of expressing heart-aching vulnerability, though, especially on the gorgeous "This House," where a split-second pause gives way to her passionately imploring, "Who will take your place?""[14] Loz Etheridge of the webzine God Is in the TV noted: "Those who only know her for her earlier works will be somewhat bewildered at the depth of emotion displayed on the likes of the tortured "This House"."[15] Adrian Janes of Penny Black Music stated: ""This House" is something of a Gothic castle of a song, an eerie but understated beginning with piano and acoustic guitar suddenly disrupted by drums and a big, emotive chorus that in the end leaves a feeling of it all being a bit overwrought."[16] Formats
