Richard Ashcroft has shared another video from last year’s Natural Rebel album.
The promo for That’s When I Feel It is premiered with a UK and Ireland tour coming up in the spring that will conclude at London’s Olympia venue. Middle-age seems a good place to be‘ for the Verve frontman, according to Live4ever’s Natural Rebel review:
“The key influence on Natural Rebel is Tom Petty (RIP), who was himself anthemic but with a more middle-of-the-road hue. It’s most notable on All My Dreams, a curious choice for an album opener, the subject matter being the love of his life Kate Radley, one can safely assume.”
“More of the same follows on Birds Fly, which is a full-on string ballad with a twist. As ever, Ashcroft is going for timeless songwriting, always covering the big themes of love, life and pain – first single Surprised By The Joy is as radio-friendly as he’s ever been; ‘I wanna walk the garden with you. A natural rebel, here I am’.”
