"'''Should I Feel That It's Over'''" is vocalist Alison Moyet's first single from 2002, being the lead single of the album [[Hometime (album)|Hometime]].<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.discogs.com/ | title = Discogs | accessdate = 2011-06-24 | archiveurl = http://www.discogs.com/Alison-Moyet-Hometime/master/57570 | archivedate = 2011-06-24}}</ref> It was also the debut single on Moyet's new label [[Sanctuary Records]].

It was written by Moyet and [[Pete Glenister]], and produced by Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke under the name The Insects.


This single was the first single release from Moyet since 1995, just more than seven years earlier. This was caused by a dispute between Moyet and Sony Music Entertainment, her former record label, who wanted her to produce what they saw as more "commercial" music. The album "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.

==Critical reception==
The two b-sides for the single are exclusive to the single, "Tongue Tied" and "Nobody's Darling", the latter being similarly titled to [[Nobody's Diary]], a 1983 hit from the duo [[Yazoo (band)|Yazoo]] which included both Moyet and [[Vince Clarke]]. Despite the similarity, the song is completely different.
In a review of ''Hometime'', Andy Gill of ''[[The Independent]]'' felt the song "sounds uncannily like a [[Coldplay]] out-take, with Moyet's vocal elision lent grandeur by a dramatic string arrangement".<ref>{{cite news|author=Andy Gill |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-alison-moyet-173472.html |title=Album: Alison Moyet |newspaper=The Independent |date=2002-08-16 |access-date=2020-01-15}}</ref> ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' said the song "is, simply put, today's Moyet giving us classic Moyet".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Cw0EAAAAMBAJ |page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Cw0EAAAAMBAJ/page/n22 23] |quote=alison moyet hometime. |title=Billboard |via=[[Internet Archive]] |date=2002-10-05 |access-date=2017-11-06}}</ref> The ''[[Orlando Weekly]]'' commented on the song's "disaffected lament" and "[[Phil Spector|Spector]]-esque embellishments [that] knock the chorus into the stratosphere".<ref>{{cite news|author=Posted on Thu, Sep 19, 2002 at 4:00 AM |url=https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2002/09/19/review-hometime |title=Review - Hometime &#124; Blogs |publisher=Orlandoweekly.com |date=2002-09-19 |access-date=2020-01-15}}</ref>

"Should I Feel That It's Over" is a song by English singer Alison Moyet, which was released in 2002 as the lead single from her fifth studio album Hometime.[1] It was also the debut single on Moyet's new label Sanctuary Records. It was written by Moyet and Pete Glenister, and produced by Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke under the name The Insects.

"Should I Feel That It's Over" was Moyet's first single release since 1995. This was caused by a dispute between Moyet 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 to be released on Sanctuary Records. Although the single failed to enter the UK Top 100, it entered the Top 200, peaking at #144.

No promotional video was filmed for the single although Moyet performed the song as part of the coverage of Glastonbury 2003.[2] She also performed the song on the Later... with Jools Holland show along with the follow-up single "Do You Ever Wonder".[3]

The single's two B-Sides, "Tongue Tied" and "Nobody's Darling", were exclusive to the single.

Critical reception

[edit]

In a review of Hometime, Andy Gill of The Independent felt the song "sounds uncannily like a Coldplay out-take, with Moyet's vocal elision lent grandeur by a dramatic string arrangement".[4] Billboard said the song "is, simply put, today's Moyet giving us classic Moyet".[5] The Orlando Weekly commented on the song's "disaffected lament" and "Spector-esque embellishments [that] knock the chorus into the stratosphere".[6]

Ken Foster of Salon commented: "On "Should I Feel That It's Over," she chastises an emotionally distant partner to a gloriously upbeat melody."[7] Reviewing the 2016 deluxe edition of the album, Paul Scott-Bates of Louder Than War said the song is a "medium paced effort again proudly displaying the voice that we had slowly expected to be incredible and were subsequently never disappointed by."[8] In a 2015 retrospective on Moyet's career, Classic Pop included the song as one of twenty favourites as chosen by the magazine. They described it as a "majestic guitar-based song".[9]
