Richard Ashcroft to release new album “Lovin’ You” in October

Richard Ashcroft will release his seventh studio album “Lovin' You” on 3rd October 2025, it has been announced.

The album will be Ashcroft's first all-new album since 2018's ‘Natural Rebel' and it follows 2021's ‘Acoustic Hymns, Vol. 1'. The news arrives as Ashcroft gears up to tour with Oasis as their special guest.

The first single from “Lovin' You” is ‘Lover', which interpolates Joan Armatrading’s classic ‘Love And Affection', which has earned the praise of the legendary songwriter herself. “Lovin' You” spans the many facets of Ashcroft's sound, from his classic string-soaked acoustic balladry and anthemic indie-rock, through to flashes of Americana, soul and glitchy electro beats. Its themes are intimate and personal, dominated by love, romance and affecting messages of support for those struggling with life’s challenges.

The songs on the record were written by Ashcroft, who co-produced the album with Chris Potter and Emre Ramazanoglu. There is also the track ‘I’m A Rebel', co-written and produced with Mirwais, who is known for his work with Madonna.

“Lovin’ You” is now available to pre-order. It will be released on standard black vinyl, CD and digital formats. There is also a range of retailer exclusive vinyl variants: his official store offers a neon orange vinyl, Amazon UK have a regular orange version, and select independent stores will stock a blue version.
