Former lead singer of The Stone Roses; launched a solo career with Unfinished Monkey Business (1998). His solo work blends rock and electronic elements and has received mixed critical responses.

Two DeBaser reviews give a mixed picture of Ian Brown's solo work. Ripples is considered a good, groove-driven return with strong vocals but not a masterpiece. Music Of The Spheres is judged flat and lacking direction. Overall the reviews note self-production, electronic elements, and a domestic, family-driven approach on Ripples.
