Richard Ashcroft revealed earlier this year that he'd release a new album this autumn. Today he's announced full details behind his fifth studio record. The album is titled Natural Rebel and arrives on October 19th. The follow up to 2016's These People will be released via Ashcroft's new imprint label RPA (Richard Paul Ashcroft) which is distributed through BMG. The ten track album was written solely by Ashcroft (take that, Noel) and was co-produced by Ashcroft, Jon Kelly and Emre Ramazanoglu. Ashcroft calls the record his strongest work to date:

“With experience comes knowledge and for me this is my strongest set of songs to date. All my favourite sounds distilled into something that will hopefully give my fans lasting pleasure. It is for them. Music is power."

Ashcroft hasn't issued any of the songs from the album yet, however he has opened up pre-orders. Natural Rebel will be released on CD, cassette, standard black vinyl, and limited edition clear blue vinyl; a variety of merch bundles are also available. Check out all the pre-order options here.

Ashcroft also announced a handful of "album preview" dates in the U.K. in support of the release. Fans who pre-order Natural Rebel prior to August 22nd will receive a pre-sale code. More details on that are posted here.
