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.

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.
