Honey Lingers is the second album by Anglo-American alternative rock band Voice of the Beehive. Released in 1991 on London Records, the album earned positive reviews from music critics and was a success on U.S. college radio stations. The album peaked at 17 in the UK upon its debut on 24 August 1991, and No. 68 in Australia in July 1992.
The first single, "Monsters and Angels", became the band's first entry on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 74.[2] It also was the band's second top-twenty single in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 17.[3] "Monsters and Angels" peaked at No. 72 on the Australian ARIA singles chart, and was their sole top-ten single on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at number eight.[4]
The title of the album is a play on the words of the sexual act of cunnilingus. The album includes a cover version of The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You", which became their biggest hit in Australia, peaking at No. 12.[5]
The album was certified silver in the U.K. for shipments of 60,000 units.
