Ian Brown Shares New Single ‘Rules’

Check it out now...

Ian Brown has shared new single ‘Rules’.

The Stone Roses frontman went solo with 2019 album ‘Ripples’, crafted alongside his son. A family affair, the album was disrupted by the pandemic, which Ian Brown had some strong opinions about.

Since then, he’s launched an opinion-splitting UK tour. Some fans were shocked by his use of backing tracks, with one punter writing: “I’m a life long fan but it was bad. Ian Brown does karaoke and butchers his own tunes. Most were too pissed to care but I had to get out after this one.”

That said, the tour was a sold out success, and Ian Brown has now shared a blast of new material.

Out now, ‘Rules’ takes umbrage with the system, the horn-laden track lashing out at the status quo.

Akira The Don calls it an “instant classic” while one fan pointed out that Ian Brown shadowed the lyrics during a decade-old interview.

Tune in now.
