Richard Ashcroft returns with his seventh solo album, Lovin’ You—his first collection of entirely new material since Natural Rebel. The record opens with lead single ‘Lover’, which reimagines Joan Armatrading’s ‘Love And Affection’ and has received praise from Armatrading herself.
Lovin’ You spans the breadth of Ashcroft’s songwriting, moving between string-soaked acoustic ballads, anthemic indie-rock, touches of Americana and soul, and glitch-tinged electronics. Its lyrical focus is intimate and empathetic, centring on love, vulnerability, and emotional support.
The album was written by Ashcroft and co-produced with Chris Potter and Emre Ramazanoglu, with a standout collaboration—‘I’m A Rebel’—co-written and produced with Mirwais (Madonna).
A two-time Ivor Novello Award winner, Ashcroft’s career spans landmark releases with The Verve and a string of successful solo albums. Lovin’ You continues a legacy built on emotional depth, enduring melodies, and a singular voice in British music.
