Richard Ashcroft – Lovin’ You

Description

EXPECTED 9TH OCTOBER 2025

As he prepares for a big summer touring the UK and Ireland as very special guest on the highly-anticipated Oasis reunion tour, Richard Ashcroft today shares the new single ‘Lover’. The track has just received its airplay premiere courtesy of Vernon Kay on Radio 2.

The track represents his first new material since his 2018 album ‘Natural Rebel’ debuted at #4 on the UK Official Album Chart. Since then, Richard also released the career-spanning ‘Acoustic Hymns Vol 1’ set, which hit #2 and became his highest charting record in fifteen years.

The song was written by Richard and, for the first time since his recording of ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’, incorporates elements of one of Richard’s favourite works: ‘Love and Affection’, written by Joan Armatrading. Joan was approached before recording and loved the arrangement. The track was produced by Richard and Emre Ramazanoglu.

‘Lover’ is the first new music to emerge from Richard as he continues work on his new studio album – expect more to follow soon.
