15th Solo Album On Double LP!
Paul Weller's 15th solo album, On Sunset, is a soul album. At the same time it's an electronic album, an orchestral album, an album packed with classic 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 whole package - production, sleeve design, the songs themselves - radiates positivity, flowing through the disparate tones of the genre: 'Mirror Ball' and its 1970s disco leanings; 'Baptiste's great interplay of Hammond organ (from Style Council's Mick Talbot), Weller's guitar driving the Stax sound; the lush orchestration of 'More,' and the title track, a Terry Callier-esque ballad with a nod to 'My Sweet Lord.' Weller spreads his wings and soars. It's simply marvelous. Weller has achieved a feat, which only Paul McCartney, John Lennon and David Gilmour previously managed, of having a UK number 1 album in five consecutive decades. Paul Weller was thrilling when he debuted in 1977 with the Jam's 'In The City.' He still is.
