The Verve suffered huge ups and downs in its first 10 years of existence, from great disappointment and lack of critical and commercial success on the band's first 2 albums (although they are now hailed by the music press and believed to be underrated) to and impressive popularity in the late 90's with the release of Urban Hymns in 1997. After problems within the members and two break-ups, the band finally demised in 1999 at their height of popularity, and Ashcroft embarked on a successful solo career. Richard released three solo albums, the last being 2006's Keys to the World. In June 2007 he and the rest of the four original members of The Verve announced their plans to get back together. They scheduled a short stadium tour for early November, which has already sold out and they started working on the new album in late July. Urban Hymns is the highly acclaimed alternative rock/space rock album released on September 29, 1997 by British rock band The Verve. ...
Keys to the World is the third studio album by Richard Ashcroft. ...
Biography Early Life: 1971-1989 Ashcroft grew up in Skelmersdale, Lancashire. His father died when Richard was 11. Ashcroft soon fell under the influence of his stepfather, who belonged to the Rosicrucians. Skelmersdale is a town within West Lancashire, in North West England. ...

The Verve years: 1989-1999 Ashcroft formed The Verve (although until 1994 it was named simply Verve) in 1989 with his high school friends. The band members shared a collective liking for the Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Raspberries, Funkadelic, and Krautrock, as well as a near-legendary appetite for psychedelic drugs. They were signed to Hut Records and became a critical hit soon after. The White Album, see The Beatles (album). ...

The band released the Verve EP in December 1992 before their first full-length album, A Storm in Heaven, came out in mid-1993. It was a critical smash and extremely popular in the underground public, but it failed to match that kind of success in the mainstream. Around this time the band changed their name to The Verve due to legal reasons. Afterwards they released an album with outtakes and b-sides entitled No Come Down in 1994. 1995 saw the release of the awaited album A Northern Soul. Here the band departed from the neo-psychedelic sounds of A Storm in Heaven and focused more on conventional alternative rock, although signs of their early sound are still present in the record. During this time the band was named as a member of the popular Britpop movement, mostly due to the band's friendship with Oasis rather than their music. However this second album, and more significantly the third, contained signs of infulence from other Britpop bands. Popularity increased, but album sales were somehow a disappointment for the band (although it outsold the previous record) and Ashcrodt disbanded the band for a few weeks. When he tried to re-group them, he found an unwilling Nick McCabe. So a new guitarist was needed and after months of uncertainty, Simon Tong, a friend of the band, filled in. Verve EP was the first studio release by English rock band The Verve. ...

From autumn '96 to spring '97 the band worked on the third album. In 1997 McCabe returned, a bit more than a year after his departure. The five members finished Urban Hymns and the release was in September 1997. With the release of the first single off the album the band saw never-imagined popularity. The song Bitter Sweet Symphony turned out to be one of the greatest songs of the decade and the album, a commercial and critical hit in both sides of the Atlantic. The album is regarded as a highlight in the timeline of Britpop and rock music from the 90's, maybe being the last commercial success from alternative British acts in the US market, until the arrival of artists like Coldplay, James Blunt and others, at least 5 years later. The band toured all over the world in the period 1997-8. But Nick McCabe suddenly pulled out of the tour, being his last gig with the band in their hometown Wigan in front of 40,000 fans in 1998. The band continued several months later without Nick, until April '99, when the band decided to announce their split.

Solo Career: 1999-2007 Alone with Everybody Richard Ashcroft had already been working in solo material as early as 1996 when The Verve was in hiatus after he had left after the failure of A Northern Soul. Some of his work intended for his solo career were later found in the band's next album Urban Hymns. But it was not until after the dissolution of The Verve in 1999 that he dedicated entirely to his new career. A Northern Soul was The Verves second (and penultimate) album (or their third if you count the Verve EP) and was released on July 3, 1995 (see 1995 in music). ...

In early 2000 he released his first single as a solo artist. "A Song for the Lovers" peaked at #3 in the UK charts in April. The song and its video were admired by the critics. The new album was named Alone with Everybody and received mixed reviews, although most positive, and it gained incredible responses from the public. A few weeks before the release, the single "Money To Burn" was out and entered the UK Top 20 at number 17. Alone with Everybody was released in June and reached number 1 and received Platinum status in the United Kingdom. In September a third single was released. "C'mon People (We're Making It Now)" entered the charts just one position away from the Top 20.

Human Conditions Richard started working on his next album in 2002. The new album Human Conditions counted with the collaboration of Beach Boys founder, Brian Wilson in the last track, Nature is the Law and explored very much the same sound that Richard's first record. The single "Check the Meaning" was released just a few weeks prior to the release the LP and it peaked at #11. The second single, "Science of Silence" was released in January 2003 and charted at #14. "Buy It in Bottles" was released afterwards and missed the Top 20, charting at #26. Generally the critics considered the album as a big failure for Ashcroft compared to Alone with Everybody. Most of the criticized aspects of the record were its lyrical content and overproduction, for example the extensive use of strings in most of the songs. Commercial success did not match the previous record standards and the album received very little promotion or airplay outside the UK. The album is commonly referred as an underrated album for many rock critics. Human Conditions is the second solo album by Richard Ashcroft, released in 2002. ...

Richard hinted a probable release of a new version of the song "C'mon People (We're Making It Now)" to coincide with England's participation in the 2006 Football World Cup. The single (entitled C'mon England by Richard in an interview in May) never materialized. Instead, the next single was "Words Just Get in the Way", which charted lower than the previous, barely making it into the Top 40 at the number 40 position after receiving barely any promotion or airplay.

Controversy On more than one occasion, Ashcroft and his bandmates have run into trouble by borrowing words and ideas from other artists. The most notable of these conflicts spawned from The Verve's biggest hit, "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which uses the Andrew Oldham Orchestra recording of The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time" as its foundation. In a well-publicized legal decision, the Rolling Stones' record company was awarded 100 percent of the royalties from "Bitter Sweet Symphony", and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were given songwriting credits along with Ashcroft. Legal ownership of the song created further controversy when Jagger and Richards gave Nike, Inc. license to use the song in one of its TV commercials, against The Verve's wishes. Another of Ashcroft's more well-known adaptations is found in the song "History". The first two verses of "History" are closely based on the first two stanzas of William Blake's poem "London". The Andrew Oldham Orchestra is a side project fronted by Andrew Loog Oldham, the original manager of the Rolling Stones. ...
