NEW ALBUM ON SUNSET ON COURSE FOR #1
With his latest album On Sunset out now, receiving rave reviews and currently #1 in the UK midweek charts, Paul Weller announces a brand new podcast, ‘In Conversation With Paul Weller’. Across three weekly episodes the music icon is joined by journalist, author and GQ editor Dylan Jones as they embark on a wide-ranging, intimate conversation exploring Paul’s extraordinary career, personal life and much more. The pair delve into the legendary musician’s thoughts on art, politics and fashion, his time with The Jam and The Style Council, plus his hugely successful solo work in one of his most candid interviews to date. Episode 1 is available now – listen here.
With a creative peak that continues to shoot skyward, On Sunset features ten classic yet modern Paul Weller songs. On Sunset is a soul album. At the same time it’s also an electronic album, an orchestral album, an album packed with masterly pop songs and heart-tugging ballads, and an album filled with touches of experimentalism. “It’s also an album that sees Weller taking a rare glance into the rear-view mirror as he speeds into the 2020s” (The Line of Best Fit).
As ever, Weller retains a rigorous forward-looking focus when it comes to seeking out the best contemporary sounds and music, but lyrically, Weller – back on his old home, Polydor Records for the first time since the Style Council days – is also starting to look back on the past with the insight of age and experience.
Praise for On Sunset
“On Sunset is the sound of someone genuinely excited about all the glorious possibilities the world of music has to offer. And at this moment in time, that’s a joy to hear” – Q 4*“Weller still challenging himself to make the greatest, most adventurous music of his life. The Changingman strikes again” – THE INDEPENDENT 4*“But you’d have a hard time arguing that On Sunset doesn’t work as an album, held together not just by its overriding lyrical theme but uniformly strong melodies. As exercises in trying to have your cake and eat it go, it’s pretty impressive” – THE GUARDIAN 4 *“There’s a lot going on, but the way it is all held in balance is magnificent” – UNCUT 8/10“A creature of ever-changing moods – variously reflective, joyous, hymnal, funny, political , contented” – MOJO 4*“On Sunset is his most adventurous album in years…It’s positive message of love conquering all is what the world needs now” – THE TIMES 4*“Weller once more proves he’s the sonic alchemist who knows no bounds” – RECORD COLLECTOR 5*“Weller is one of those artists whose vitality grows brighter with age” – METRO 4*“Paul Weller hits a creative peak” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT 8/10“On Sunset finds Paul Weller refusing to let his fire dim” – CLASH 8/10“A bold and forward-thinking new statement” – NME 4*“Weller is one of those artists whose vitality grows brighter with age” – METRO 4*“An album that constantly – and infectiously – communicates the fact that Weller is having a ball” – THE SUNDAY TIMES (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)“Paul Weller takes the zen route to Hollywood on his funky, shimmering 15th solo album” – OBSERVER (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
