As he prepares to embark upon the biggest stadium tour of the year as special guest to Oasis, Richard Ashcroft today announces the October 3rdrelease date of his brand new album Lovin You. His seventh solo set, Lovin You is his first all-new album since 2018s Natural Rebel and follows2021s Acoustic Hymns, Vol. 1.
The Lovin You album opens with its first single Lover, which is currently receiving nationwide play. The song interpolates Joan Armatradingsclassic Love And Affection, which earned the praise of the legendary songwriter herself: I love how hes used my song and I love his song.
That single sets the standard for a record which finds Richard at the peak of his powers. Its a set which spans the many facets of his sound, from hisclassic string-soaked acoustic balladry and anthemic indie-rock, through to flashes of Americana, soul and glitchy electro beats. Its themes areintimate and personal, dominated by love, romance and affecting messages of support for those struggling with lifes challenges.
The songs on Lovin You were written by Richard, who co-produced the album with Chris Potter and Emre Ramazanoglu. There is also the trackIm A Rebel, co-written and produced with Mirwais of Madonna fame.
A two-time Ivor Novello Award winner (Songwriter of the Year and Outstanding Contribution To British Music), Richard Ashcroft has become one ofthe most accomplished and influential songwriters around over the course of a career which spans three decades. His first chapter with The Ververeached a remarkable peak with Urban Hymns, a hit-laden set (Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Dont Work, Lucky Man, Sonnet) which isone of the biggest selling albums in UK history with 11 x Platinum certifications. The band achieved a second #1 album with Forth and won three
BRIT Awards.
His solo career continued that acclaim with his debut Alone With Everybody shooting to #1 and all five subsequent studio albums landing between#2 and #5. Between The Verve and his solo work he has achieved three UK #1 albums and another five Top 10 records, plus a #1 single and five Top10 hits.
Richard Ashcroft and Oasis share a mutual admiration which dates back to touring together before Oasis first broke through. Richard will perform asspecial guest on all of their UK shows.
