RICHARD ASHCROFT shares track 'Born To Be Strangers' taken from album 'Natural Rebel'

Following the great response to latest single ‘Surprised By The Joy’, Richard Ashcroft unveils the second track from album‘Natural Rebel’ titled ‘Born To Be Strangers’. It’s a slick rock n roll record bristling with charisma, featuring authentic guitars and Ashcroft’s vocals shine with splendour. Says Ashcroft of ‘Born To Be Strangers’; This record has more guitar playing on it than the last. We’ve reached the point where the guitar has to do something if you’re gonna play it. It’s got to move you in some way. It doesn’t have to be intricate or muso, it just has to have soul.”
