[VIN] 5/15 Verve article

[Vandeberg, Matt]

from today's Muzic.com site:

Question for all:  It was my understanding that Richard has already put
vocals down for UNKLE -- is the article wrong?

Verve Singer Ready To Cry
                            UNKLE 

                       The Verve are still trying to fend off
                       rumors that they're just about to leave
                       Virgin Records, and as a show of
                       good faith they've revealed that they're
                       already working on their new album --
                       and have recorded five new songs with
                       Chris Potter, the genius who was able
                       to tame these irascible brutes for a
                       brief shining season and deliver a gem
                       like Urban Hymns. Breaking from their usual form
of belabored
                       recording, the band told the BBC that they intend
to have an album
                       ready for release later this year. In fact, "Mad"
Richard Ashcroft has
                       been demonstrating his workaholic tendencies, and
has promised --
                       like Thom Yorke before him -- to provide some
vocals for DJ
                       Shadow's UNKLE project when he's in San
Francisco, next month, a
                       work which will also feature a collaboration with
opinionated ex-Stone
                       Roses' singer Ian Brown, who has confounded
nearly everyone by
                       garnering widespread acclaim for his homespun
solo disc Unfinished
                       Monkey Business in the UK. -Jaan Uhelszki
