Track Of The Day: Ian Brown - Ripples

Since the high profile reunion of The Stone Roses in 2011, it's been all too easy to forget how long it's been since Ian Brown's last solo album. Nearly ten years on from 2009's 'My Way', 2019 finds the Manchester icon a further decade into his life and career. New LP 'Ripples' is both familiar and sometimes surprising.

Even the hardest critics may find it hard to deny the quality of the awesome title track, another career highlight that provides a fat helping of rump-shaking monkey funk, buoyed by a tasty bassline as his vocal dances casually and effortlessly around it. Topped with snaking Eastern-shaped guitar lines, it completely outclasses both those Stone Roses comeback singles by a long distance and makes you wonder if any of these songs were ever tried out or intended for that elusive third album.
