Richard Ashcroft has announced details of his new album, his first in six years. ‘These People’ will see release on May 20th and will be his first album since 2010’s poorly received ‘United Nations Of Sound’. The album is described by the former The Verve frontman as being about “some personal and world events taking a dark turn, leading to a sense of urgency and a clearing of the mind”.
The first single from the album is ‘This Is How It Feels’, which you can listen to above.
The album was recorded mainly at Ashcroft’s basement home studio and features orchestration from Will Malone, whom the singer worked with for the best selling Verve album ‘Urban Hymns’ and his solo debut ‘Alone With Everybody’. Speaking to NME about the album Ashcroft said:
