Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Stone Roses frontman continues his successful solo trajectory, heavily incorporating lush horns and string arrangements into his signature baggy sound. 'Solarized' blends mellow, beat-driven downtempo electronics with romantic Britpop melodies and surprisingly sharp political commentary regarding the Iraq War.
