NEW LP
New sealed copy. Independent record store exclusive limited edition on blue coloured vinyl.
Lovin’ You is the seventh studio album by English musician Richard Ashcroft, released on October 10, 2025. Originally slated for release a week earlier, the record continues Ashcroft’s reflective, soul-rooted songwriting while leaning into themes of love, purpose, and perseverance.
Led by the singles “Lover” and the title track “Lovin’ You,” the album finds Ashcroft in a contemplative but confident space, drawing on the romantic optimism and spiritual yearning that have defined his solo work. The arrangements are understated yet richly melodic, allowing his distinct voice to carry the emotional weight of each song.
Critical reception has been mixed but intrigued. Clash described the album as alternating “between reflection and inspiration,” noting that Ashcroft “doesn’t try to reinvent himself” but instead refines what he does best—balancing romantic devotion with spiritual searching. The Quietus was less charitable, suggesting that Ashcroft’s creative spark feels confined despite his continued passion. Still, Lovin’ You underscores his persistence as an artist rooted in conviction, following his own muse rather than chasing trends.
