Weller is touring in support of his upcoming album 66 which is due out on May 24, the day before his 66th birthday. The album is described as being “quite reflective and inward thinking.” 66 is Weller’s 17th solo, and 28th album overall in a career that includes stints leading The Jam and The Style Council. The album was recorded primarily in his own Black Barn Studio.
66 includes contributions from Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Madness’ Suggs McPherson, Richard Hawley, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr Robert, Le SuperHomard’s Christophe Vaillant, and Erland Cooper, with string arrangements by Hannah Peel. The first single from 66, “Soul Wandering,” was co-written with Gillespie.
“Soul Wandering” has already picked up reams of praise. The NME said “With an unmistakable Bowie-feel throughout, the track comes with a chunky, percussive groove and introspective lyrics that see Weller ponder his place in the universe.” Stereogum said the track was “…a sleek midtempo rocker that sounds appropriately weathered,” while Brooklyn Vegan said the song was “…the kind of soulful, sophisticated rock we’ve come to expect from Weller.”
