Let the Brit-pop revival roll-on. The Verve, those Manchester poppers responsible for the classic Urban Hymns (and little else of any consequence) are streaming a new track titled “Love is All” off their upcoming album titled Four, which is due out 8/18 on EMI internationally, and on the Verve’s On Our Own imprint in North America on 8/19.

The track taps the same Stones circa-1972 well as their past material, but this song sounds more like something off of the flaccid It’s Only Rock and Roll instead of something off Sticky Fingers. Frontman Richard Ashcroft’s voice has devolved into a pretty gruff near-baritone, and is augmented by a chorus throughout the song. Here’s to hoping this just a teaser and the rest of Four is classic. [Billboard]
