Richard Ashcroft & The United Nations of Sound- America
[YOUTUBE]2BGuz6sCqj8[/YOUTUBE]
Ashcroft is the former lead singer of The Verve, who has released 3 solo albums and now this album, with his new band- The United Nations of Sound.
While the album hasnt blown my mind, there are several stand out tracks. The lead single "Are You Ready" is fantastic, track 4 "This Thing Called Life" is another really good song, but my favourite is this one- "America"
This is how I prefer Richard Ashcroft, a good catchy beat, great guitaring and the fantastic vocals that have made him a star. Overall, definately in the top 5 songs he has written as a solo artist.
The album is proving to be a grower as well, I am liking the other songs more and more on each listen, I definately recommend you checking out Richard Ashcrofts solo material.
