Listen To Paul Weller’s New Single, ‘Village’
The new track also features on Weller’s upcoming album, ‘On Sunset’, set for release through Polydor on 19 June.
Paul Weller has released his new song ‘Village’: the second new track to be debuted from his hotly anticipated new album On Sunset, which is set for release on 19 June through Polydor Records. You can check it out below.
‘Village’ is a dreamy and beautiful meditation sung from the decidedly un-rock’n’roll perspective of a man who is entirely happy with his state in life. “It’s a response to being told that we’ve all got to explore the Amazon and climb Everest to make our lives complete,” says Weller. “And there’s a guy who says, f_k all that, I’ve got heaven around me.”
‘Village’ was written by Weller and his long-time producer Jan ‘Stan’ Kybert. The track features Weller’s old Style Council associate Mick Talbot on keyboards.
Weller began working on the forthcoming new album On Sunset very soon after finishing 2018’s well-received True Meanings. On Sunset features ten classic yet modern Paul Weller songs including masterly pop classics, heart-tugging ballads and occasional touches of experimentalism. It’s an album that sees Weller taking a rare glance into the rear-view mirror as he speeds into the 2020s.
Written and recorded at Black Barn Studios in Surrey, On Sunset was produced by Jan “Stan” Kybert and Paul Weller with help from Charles Rees. String arrangements are by Hannah Peel.
As well as digitally, the album is released on CD , Deluxe CD (includes extra tracks), double gatefold vinyl, coloured vinyl and cassette.
