Ian Brown releases his new album 'The World Is Yours' on 24th September. His fifth solo record, this is a record he intended would "bury everything else I’ve ever done", and it’s hard to argue with the man. It’s an inspired creation – musically it’s awesome, lyrically it is personal, compassionate and defiant.

First single 'Illegal Attacks', released September 17th, is a tour de force. An in-your-face pop song like you’ve never heard before. Sinéad O'Connor and Brown duet, one of O’Connor’s two appearances on the record. It is a heady, powerful duet with stabbing double-bass and harp, sung with the kind of conviction that makes the hairs on your neck stand up.

Brown collaborated with two sets of producers – Black Ops and Emile - and recorded the album at various studios in London with Brown travelling to Windmill Lane studios in Ireland to record 'Illegal Attacks' and 'Some Folks Are Hollow' with O’Connor. Andy Rourke Ex-Smiths and Ex-Happy Mondays/Big Arm’ Paul Ryder contribute on bass. Steve Jones Ex-Sex Pistols appears on guitar on two tracks ('Sister Rose' and 'Me and You Forever') and Paul Cook (also Ex-Sex Pistols) appears on drums on the same tracks 'Sister Rose' and 'Me And You Forever' . The stunning string arrangements are the work of one Simon Hale.

'On Track', previously appeared as an instrumental on the soundtrack to Russian film Paragraph 78, but here takes on full song-form.

With a huge UK tour kicking off at the end of September, Ian Brown is back to entertain and inspire. The World is Yours is honest, direct, tender in parts and full of hope, acknowledging the fragile nature of the world, it makes you feel lucky to be alive.

I feel like this is said about every single one of his releases. and Oasis', for that matter.

I'm still sort of interested, though.

yeah, his albums seem to be getting progressively worse...yet i'm still interested. i always hope for the best. the tunes with sinead could be interesting.

I'm not interested but you're not the only one cause his albums seem to sell especially on the other side of the pond. I still can't believe that people like Ian solo but hate John Squire. I feel the exact opposite...wait maybe I should believe it then :lol:

i definitely didn't hate squire's solo work. the music was fantastic...he just has a really poor singing voice as i remember it (it has been years since i've listened).

i just froogled him up to see what he's up to and i guess he's really into his artwork now.

I don't know about that, I'd be interested.

Yeah, I want to hear this too.

His solo output generally gets dismissed but he's had some excellent tunes.

F.E.A.R. is such a great song.

I just think that it's time for Ian and John to get back together.
And throw Manni and Renni into the mix too, if you please.

btw, this "duet" doesn't do much for me... the message is good, but the song itself is pretty meh.

the new album is up for listening on the NME website. 4 tracks in and so far i'm really liking it.

PopTodd · **Posted:** Wed Sep 19, 2007 1:29 pm
