UPC: 198704504587 Ashcroft returns with his new solo album Lovin' You , his first new material since 2018's Natural Rebel. Lead track 'Lover' 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.
