FORMER Stone Roses legend Ian Brown is hoping to collaborate with a bunch of big industry names on his new LP, including Beatles’ icon Paul McCartney.
According to NME, the Warrington-born veteran has already spoken to McCartney’s assistant about the possibility of the bass player appearing on his fifth LP.
The follow-up to 2004’s Solarized is also set to feature a couple of famous Mancunian bassists, ex-Smiths man Andy Rourke and former Happy Mondays star Paul Ryder.
Brown also has another enigmatic star in his sights.
On the prospect of working with Irish vocalist Sinead O’Connor, he told the weekly rock magazine: “She’s the best female soul singer in the world.”
The record has a working title of ‘The World Is Yours’ and is set to feature songs entitled ‘Goodbye To The Badlands’ and ‘Some Folks Are Hollow’.
Brown has been working with a production team called Black Ops and young New York hip-hop producer and Snoop Dogg collaborator Emile.
On the sessions so far he said: “It’s sounding like this LP is going to dwarf the others. I know everyone always says their latest is their best, but I really feel that this time.
“I’ve really gone all out with the lyrics and melodies. I’m trying to make my own What’s Goin’ On (seminal Marvin Gaye LP).
“It’s going to be something really beautiful, with violins, dead sharp beats, socially conscious lyrics – this time around, I’m trying to bury everything I’ve ever done.”
The prospect of a Stone Roses reunion looks ever more distant it would seem.

Hoop dat het wordt...

In een volle paradiso gevuld met typische Engelse tracksuits en britpop kapsels een wat matige Ian Brown. De band stond lekker te spelen, maar ian had bij de eerste 4,5 nummers zijn hand op de microfoon waardoor het stemgeluid erg slecht was. Dit waren dan ook nog eens nummers van zijn nieuwste cd die sowieso wat minder zijn (vind ik). Uiteindelijk was het hoogtepuntje de toegift, met oa I wanna be adored. Toch goed om deze legende en zelfbenoemde godlike genius eens in het echt te bewonderen.

Die encore was echt geniaal, met Adored, Resurrection en FEAR. Daarvoor ook al Waterfall, en een aantal van zn beste solo-tracks (Dolphins Were Monkeys, Time Is My Everything) dus er hoeft zeker niet geklaagd te worden. Dat de man live echt niet kan zingen is wel helemaal duidelijk, maar hij maakt dat toch wel goed met zn charisma. Erg leuk optreden.
