Just days before hittin’ the road with Oasis, Richard Ashcroft—best known for his work in The Verve—has announced a solo album: Lovin’ You will arrive on October 3. The news was preceded by the on-theme single “Lover,” released in May and marking Ashcroft’s first solo cut in seven years. The single was written by Ashcroft and co-produced alongside Emre Ramazanoglu. The song interpolates one of Richard’s favorites, “Love and Affection” by Joan Armatrading. Ashcroft reportedly approached Armatrading before recording the arrangement.
