Ashcroft - who has been honored with two Brit awards, an Ivor Novello Award and a Grammy nomination for The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" - produced These People in London with longtime collaborator Chris Potter. He reunited with Wil Malone to work on orchestrations of the material. Malone previously collaborated with Ashcroft on the string arrangements for The Verve's A Northern Soul (1995) and the 10-million-selling Urban Hymns (1997) plus Ashcroft's acclaimed debut solo album, Alone with Everybody (2000).
Watching personal and world events take a darker turn compelled Ashcroft to record the album and, he says, led to " a sense of urgency and a clearing of the mind." While These People addresses such topics as the war in Syria, the Arab Spring uprisings and the death of a friend, it also brims with hope, as evidenced in the transcendent track "This Is How It Feels."
