background
Richard Ashcroft was the first of the former Verve members to come up with an album release after separating from The Verve a year earlier. He was supported by the former band drummer Peter Salisbury . Ashcroft had already started recording a solo album in the final stages of the band's existence . The recordings were accompanied by various mishaps. At first there were various disputes regarding the contract, which required five albums from The Verve and should now be transferred to Ashcroft. Second, all recordings disappeared during production , so Ashcroft had to re-record all songs that had been completed to date.
description
With A Song for the Lovers , the album begins with a song that was written at The Verve Sessions in 1995/6 and was shortlisted for the Urban Hymns . At the time as a rock song with a heavily distorted guitar, the song for Alone with Everybody was rearranged into a pop anthem with lots of strings and a more straightforward scheme. As a pre-release and first solo statement by Ashcroft, it reached number 3 in the British single charts. Even New York and C'mon People still come from the Verve sessions with Simon Tong as a replacement guitarist for Nick McCabe .
New York and Money to Burn are two more rocky tracks, while the rest of the album is characterized by soft, catchy pop anthems ( C'mon People or Crazy World ) and soft ballads like I Get My Beat or Slow Was My Heart . Brave New World is also one of the very quiet moments of the album and was Aldous Huxley's Beautiful New World inspired.
