Richard is living proof that, like many songwriters, you cannot replace good songwriting with overproduced videos, and ridiculous radio repetition. I would give anything to take a peek at his record collection. Brilliant lad.
"Alone with Everybody" & "Human Conditions"...excellent albums. Have to listen some more on this new single or album if it's out now. In order to say if it's have the same quality.
God richards solo stuff is so badly produced. Everything is so normalised within an inch of its life. He has such a raw, natural voice and seems to do everything he can to get rid of it. It's strange. Sure mcabe had effects and stuff, but they had heart and this sounds programmed and levelled out. I honestly can;t believe richard hears this and genuinely thinks it stands up to him say doing an acoustic of see you in the next one. he has to get a grip man.
yes I agree , I prefer listening to the vids of just him with his acoustic guitar.. its raw and pure talent the songs are amazing .. hes easily one of the best solo acoustic performers and songwriters ever in my opinion.. massive inspiration too,... come back Richard Ashcroft!!
