NPR’s Bob Boilen is definitely a fan of the new music:

Moby has just made his best record in 10 years — at least I think so. The new record by the DJ, singer, bassist, keyboardist, guitarist and all-around renaissance man, Wait for Me, is filled with beauty, sadness and celebration.

Speaking to the Edmonton Sun about the super stardom that followed the release of Play ten years ago, Moby remarked -

I clearly wasn’t prepared for it. I became a global celebrity, but at the same time I was still the nerd who makes music in his apartment,” he explained. “I liked it, but it depressed me at the same time. I became too public; I was hated by people who didn’t even know me.”

Today he’s sober, vegan and spiritual. And out with a new album that’s not too shabby.
