The first single from Richard Ashcroft‘s new solo album Natural Rebel has been shared.
A relatively swift follow-up to These People when considering the decade-long wait which had preceded the 2016 album, Natural Rebel is due on October 19th and today has Surprised By The Joy as its lead track. “With experience comes knowledge and for me this is my strongest set of songs to date,” Ashcroft has said.
“All my favourite sounds distilled into something that will hopefully give my fans lasting pleasure. It is for them. Music is power.”
He’ll tour the album from next month, starting in Glasgow and moving on from there to Middlesbrough, Nottingham, Manchester and London.
