Richard Ashcrofts fourth solo album These People became a fan-favourite in 2016, receiving great reviews and becoming a #3 album in the Official UK Albums Chart.

His reunion with Wil Malone, who had previously worked on the string arrangements for The Verve’s seminal albums “A Northern Soul” and “Urban Hymns” added depth and emotional resonance to the album’s sound. Ashcroft demonstrated his continued relevance and creative prowess as a solo artist, reaffirming his status as one of Britain’s most enduring and influential musicians.

Released on his Righteous Phonographic Association label via Cooking Vinyl, and now available on vinyl again in a 2LP special edition Clear and Blue Marble Vinyl effect, housed in a Gatefold sleeve.

These People is the solo record most aligned to Ashcrofts Verve peak…Its both a grandmaster lesson and an antidote to the current crop of insipid singer-songwriter mulch NME ****

Ashcroft still possesses one of rocks great voices, his singular balance of grit and gravitas undisturbed by the passage of time. Pitchfork
