The Verve made a much anticipated come back in the
summer this year with a brand new album 'Forth',
their first single in ten years 'Love Is Noise'
and many appearances at the some of the biggest
festivals of the summer such as Glastonbury, T In
The Park and V2008, ever since all this happened
things have gone quiet on The Verve front, there
was talk that the band were on the verge of splitting
up again because frontman Richard Ashcroft hinted
that he preferred going solo and that he will go
back to being solo soon, which caused a bit of a
riff with himself and Nick McCabe, luckily the band
are still together and are just about to release
'Rather Be' which is the second single to be taken
from 'Forth'.
When The Verve released 'Love Is Noise' pretty
much every indie fan fell in love with the song,
it was huge, it was catchy and it was a pure moment
of happiness to see such a talented and huge band
back after ten years with a epic new single, the
release of the album 'Forth' came shortly after
and it was well worth the wait it proved to be
such an enjoyable album but an album that you
had to put some time into to get the positive
feelings out, yes it was a grower but once it
started to grow on you every listen got better
and better.
The new single 'Rather Be', is another little
beast of a song, but it is no where in the same
league as 'Love Is Noise', that song was epic
and I think it would take these guys another ten
years to come up with a song better than that,
nevertheless 'Rather Be' is a really good song
to listen to, it’s one of the more chilled
out songs from the album and it flows pretty well,
Richard Ashcrofts’ vocals are as strong
sounding as ever, but the song is not going to
win the band any awards or new fans.
It’s good the see that The Verve are still
going, 'Rather Be' is a tune well worth of a listen,
I am sure you already have the bands new album
and have heard this song many times over, if you
haven’t check it out it’s not bad!
4/5
