Most people probably don’t remember that former Verve singer Richard Ashcroft released a solo album titled United Nations of Sound last year. Well, here he is to give us a reminder, with a performance of the opening track “Are You Ready?” for Jimmy Fallon’s show. Even a helping hand from the Roots can’t save this from being one of the most unremarkable musical appearances on Fallon’s show this year, and the host himself breaks out into a few bars of “Bittersweet Symphony” during his intro to suggest that’s what we really all want to hear. Maybe next time?
