"Wait for Me" gave Moby's ninth studio album its name when it came out on Little Idiot and Mute in June 2009, and he handled the title track just about alone: he wrote it, produced it and engineered it, handing the vocal to Kelli Scarr.
The whole album grew out of his home studio on Manhattan's Lower East Side, which he described as a pile of gear crammed into a small bedroom, with work starting in 2008. What set him off was a David Lynch speech at BAFTA about creativity for its own sake, free of market pressure, and Moby took it to heart, setting out to make a record he loved and letting the marketplace think whatever it liked.
