Cradle is the only album by the English pop group Acacia, which featured future record producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Alanis Morissette, others) and singer Alexander "Blackmoth" Nilere.
It is notable for being the first full album released by Sigsworth as both full group member and producer (following his work as keyboard player with Björk and Seal) and for being the first record to heavily feature later solo artist Imogen Heap (who performs on all but one track).
The majority of the album was recorded by Sigsworth and Nilere (with Heap as backing singer and constant musical foil, although not a full band member).
Cradle was released in 1997 but almost immediately withdrawn due to legal disputes between Warner Music UK and the band's former label Radar Records (although some copies of the album did arrive in the shops and were sold).
[3] All tracks are written by Alexander Nilere and Guy Sigsworth, except where noted"I'm in Love with Love" is a cover version of a song by the British hard rock/funk band The Holiday Patrons (originally released as the B-side to their 1984 debut single "Hottest Time of the Year").
