Hothouse Flowers - Home [LP]

Hothouse Flowers' sophomore album, Home, released in 1990, built on the success of their debut People while showcasing a more mature and introspective sound while maintaining their signature heartfelt, genre-blending approach to music. The album continued their signature fusion of rock, folk, gospel, and blues, its tracks demonstrating both introspection and a vibrant energy. Home reached No. 1 on the Irish Albums Chart and peaked at No. 5 in the UK. The album was certified Gold in the UK and Platinum in Ireland, reaffirming the band's status as one of Ireland's most successful exports at the time. Lead single "Give It Up" became a fan favorite, while the band's cover of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" broadened their appeal, a Top 5 in Ireland and chart hit in UK and Australia. The band's relentless touring and powerful live shows helped sustain Home's international momentum and commercial success. For 2025 Hothouse Flowers celebrate both Home and its predecessor People. London Records celebrate with represses of People and Home on vinyl, with restored artwork faithful to the original editions. 1. A 2. Hardstone City_x000D_ 3. A 4. Give it up_x000D_ 5. A 6.
