Paul Weller is back with his eagerly awaited 13th studio album, A Kind Revolution.
Weller started work on the record immediately after finishing 2015's Saturns Pattern, and the end result features 10 recognisable but in no way predictable cuts. He doesn't make a "kind of" album, he fits together all his influences - rock, R&B, soul, jazz, funk, folk... whatever - and builds a song from them, delivering something that drifts through genres unselfconsciously and at ease. Two great examples of this are two of the most reflective, contemplative songs, Long Long Road and Hopper, which in lesser hands might have been delivered as ballads, but Weller adds so much texture and colour to each that they defy categorisation. With great age comes great wisdom!
This deluxe edition features a bonus CD featuring instrumental versions of A Kind Revolution and a third CD with remixes and alternate versions of album cuts and another brand new track, Alpha.
