Full review
Richard Ashcroft faced a real challenge with his new album, competing with the classic Verve album 'Urban Hymns'. But with 'Alone With Everybody' he has done a commendable job. Admittedly, only 'New York' has the tension and sinister guitar offered up by the Verve, but it is obvious that Richard is mellowing. Perhaps a happy marriage and new baby have changed his outlook, but tracks like 'You in My Mind and My Sleep' and single 'Song for the Lovers' are perfect summer tunes. The album lacks the angst of Urban Hymns, but has a charm of its own, with only one or two tracks as obviously fillers. It's a slow grower, but it hooks you.
