Keys to The World -третий студийный альбом английского певца и автора песен Ричарда Эшкрофта . Он был выпущен 23 января 2006 года, достигнув числа 2 в британском чарте альбомов (см. 2006 в British Music ). Эшкрофт работал над альбомом в State of the Ark Studios, а Джулиан Кершоу написал аранжировки для некоторых песен, позже записанных Лондонским столичным оркестром . Строки представлены на восьми песнях на альбоме, в которых также есть электрическая альта на некоторых треках - играет Брюс Уайт. Инженер/продюсер этого альбома был Крис Поттер , и был его последним сольным альбомом в течение десятилетия, до этих людей (2016).

Выпуск и прием

Ключи к миру были встречены «смешанные или средние» отзывы от критиков. В Metacritic , который назначает средневзвешенную оценку из 100 для обзоров из основных публикаций, этот выпуск получил средний балл 52 на основе 19 обзоров. ^{[ 1 ]}

In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "Three and a half years later, the Verve's former frontman is back with a record not terribly different, though certainly more pastoral and perhaps more middle of the road. The rest of the disc simply follows a formula, though it's a pleasant one. Ashcroft introduces everything else here with skeletally placed guitars, pours on the strings, and keeps the tempo on slow, slower, and slowest until the final track."^[2] At Drowned in Sound, critic Dom Gourlay wrote: "Keys to the World then is a deeply personal, occasionally lifeless but equally insightful passage into the latest chapter of Richard Ashcroft's life story. Doing what he does best but just be prepared for some very uneasy listening."^[4] Scott Shetler of Slant Magazine wrote: "Keys to the World, is his best solo effort to date, adding punchy melodies to the insightful lyrics and strong vocals that are characteristic of his music. Keys to the World is a definite step forward and demonstrates that Ashcroft is finally hitting his stride as a solo artist."^[11]

The album was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, selling more than 300.000 copies.^[12]
