Richard Ashcroft's new album details

Richard Ashcroft has revealed that he recorded most of his new album between New York and Los Angeles.

“The work ethic, the amount of energy was immense,” he told Spinner.com. “When we did more of the recording in L.A., I was lucky enough to work with a guy called Benjamin Wright, who arranged the strings. So many things were popping up while I was there.”

One thing that popped up out of the blue was the opportunity for the former Verve frontman to compose music for Matt Damon’s latest thriller, ‘The Adjustment Bureau.’

"It came out of the director, George Nolfi, hearing 'Are You Ready' and wanting to use it as the outro of the film,’ Ashcroft explains. “Then he suggested we do something together for the start of the film."
