This has dropped into my inbox over night… we’ll probably get taken off line for posting it, even though it’s from the label themselves, but here you go…
Have a listen below to the first piece of proper new Verve material. It’s a steam of their new single, to be released on August 4th, call ‘Love is Noise’: listen here.
It’s a bit of a weird beast… plenty of processed “noise”, some trademark guitar riffs and Ashcroft’s voice sounding stronger than it ever has done… keeping off the booze and drugs is doing him well. I guess the only disappointment is the lyrics - pretty generic ramblings about how painful love is.
Oh well, let us know what you think…

it’s ok… has that universal ‘everyman’ appeal that most of urban hymns had. like the fact that they havent returned with a ballad, though im sure they’ve got lots up their sleeve. extrememly radio friendly - edith bowman will be wetting herself over it as a type no doubt.
i give it, 5/10.

Apparently the stream doesn’t work for everyone, so have a listen on their myspace site instead: http://www.myspace.com/thevervetv
