Cool, New Songs By Richard Ashcroft: "Surprised By Joy" & "Born To Be Strangers"



"Surprised By The Joy" is the first single from Richard Ashcroft's forthcoming album Natural Rebel out October 18, 2018.
Pre-Order It Here...

Here's the audio for the second single "Born To Be Strangers":



Richard Ashcroft belongs to that special category of "Hugely Famous in The UK/Couldn't Get Arrested in America" (unfortunately). In America, he's primarily known as the genius behind The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony", which besides being a great song, will go down in history for the monkeyshines going on behind the scenes with Allen Klein ultimately "winning" credit for the song for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the lion's share of the royalties for (as Harrison warned, beware of) ABKCO, Klein's company. Truly one of the great rock n roll swindles of all-time.

The good news is that despite that blow, Richard Ashcroft has continued to make amazing music.

This new album promises to be fantastic. Something to look forward to.
