Honeychild is the third solo studio album by New Zealand singer Jenny Morris, released in October 1991 (see 1991 in music) by East West Records. The album went for the same style as Morris's other two albums acoustic pop with a hint of dance music produced by Mark Forrester, Nick Launay and Morris herself. It included a cover version of the song "Tempted" by the english band Squeeze.
The album was Morris's second most successful album (Shiver being the first), peaking at number five in Australia, accrediting platinum by ARIA and nominating Morris for the "Best Female Artist" for 1992. The singles released from Honeychild were successful in Australia and New Zealand, one of the songs off the album became to be Morris's biggest hit to date. "Break in the Weather" was released in September 1991 as the albums first single, becoming her most successful single to date peaking at number two in Australia and number five in New Zealand. "I've Had You" was released in December 1991 but was not a big hit only peaking at number thirty-nine in both Australia and New Zealand. "Zero" and "Crackerjack Man" were the third and fourth singles released from the album but failed to make an impact.
