Up there with Jarvis Cocker and David Bowie, Ashcroft is one of the coolest dudes in music. If you’re not sure who he is, think Bittersweet Symphony which you’ve probably heard a million times. I’m glad to say the tunes are still up to par on the latest album, ‘Keys to the World’ (out now, as of March 21).
Honestly I’m not a big fan of anyone stressing their political beliefs in their music, which this album has its share of, but this uplifting tune makes up for all of that. It’s like one of those you could leave on repeat all day.

Richard Ashcroft really likes to walk down the street. I think everytime I have seen him, hes walking down a street looking all bummed out.
I would like to see him walk over to Chris Martin’s house and kick him.
