Long Time Coming

Long Time Coming is the second studio album by British recording artist Paul. It was released in March 2002, by SoURBAN Entertainment ltd.

Background and development
After the moderate success of his debut album, Paul began writing again in the winter of 2002. The album was initially to be led by a single titled "Body" but this was scrapped in favour of My Bad (Oops!). While promoting his debut album Paul developed a strong friendship with German producer Boris Koller. After Paul spent much of the autumn writing lyrics and melodies he teamed up with Boris to put his lyrics to music. Immediately the two found that they had an unstoppable creative energy and they created Paul's entire sophomore set in 2 weeks. As well as the lead single, the album also houses U.K. Top 5 hit Last Night. "I Wish I Could" and "I'll Always Be" were scheduled for release but keen to keep recording Paul opted to create a new album instead. Both tracks were remixed for a single release, and seen release in Australia but not the UK.

Reception
The album was well received by critics who said it was more consistent than his debut and stronger both lyrically and production wise. In 2015 Rolling Stone stated that the album was one of Paul's best bodies of work along side this then-current release Asteroids.

The album reached Gold status in the U.K.
