I think I know what's missing. The dark tones of the Verve. A Northern Soul contains some of the most darkest songs in rock in my opinion, and Richard's solo work has none of it really. Combined with McCabe's guitar tones, he loses that sense. The new song's ok, but it's abit too upbeat for me. That's what marriage and having kids does to you lol. Once he started to sing about his missus on his debut album he lost all that dark brooding mysterious greatness to him, he wanted to be a Neil Diamond ballad writer then Mad Richard. For me McCabe bought the dark magic to the Verve cause he sounded like nothing else around at that time and no one still does these days. Ashcroft wanted to be on the front pages of the papers and he wanted to be like Liam Gallagher. Nick just wanted to play his guitar and make grand sounds. Once you took that away from Ashcroft and all the magic is gone i.e all his solo work. |

That's better.  He's singing about (presumably his wife/then girlfriend) a woman and it doesn't sound overly sappy. |

It's just that he's been putting them on every other record since Bittersweet Symphony and it usually comes off really cheesy and faux-messianic, rather than grand or epic which I think is what he seems to be going for. |

I still have no words for those sunglasses  Nice interview though and very diplomatic to say that he can't do a collaberation with only one of them, which, regarding Liam's apparent envy of Noel's success, would for Liam be like a betrayal. He should do both then  I'm just listening to "Hold on" for the first time. Is that a drum machine? Sounds like that in the beginning and distracted me a bit. I think it'll take more listens for me to have an opinion on it. |

Yeah, when you listen to the demos of what became Urban Hymns you could hear a good album in there, but most of the uptempo songs sounded anemic instead of anthemic(C'mon People we're making it now). You cant understate what Nick brought to the table. Yes, Richard worte them but the guitar playing of Nick is what made this album something greater than any of the solo albums. Urban Hymns is greater than the sum of its members/songs. |

It's so strange seeing Richard trying to give that serious rapper kind of swagger when his music still is pretty much the same as it's been since Alone with Everybody.  The new video could be almost set to a trap song or something. But I think that bad boy image is what he wants to keep up nowadays... Personally I prefered these vibes: Fucking hell, that's amazing. His voice is his biggest talent, not sure if he realises that though. His new single sounds like a Latvian Eurovision entry. Horrendous. |

Not very impressed with this new song, but Richard, you've got such a killer voice.

Little in music perturbs me as much as Richard Ashcroft dragging out his middling solo career when he could be putting out songs like this:

"Out of My Body" sounds really good!
"They Don't Own Me" sounds very promising.
"Ain't the Future So Bright" sounds promising.
"Song of Experience" not bad, I like the ending.

I agree completely. It's just so overdone in his work that its off putting. |
