From The Sun By JACQUI SWIFT Published: 29 May 2008 PAUL WELLER - 22 Dreams Rating ***** PAUL WELLER turned 50 on Sunday. When we meet, just a few days before his big day, the bags under his eyes suggest that the celebrations might have started early. Immaculately dressed, as ever, in a navy woollen jumper with his grown-out mod cut, he’s very different from the paunchy, balding figures most men of his age present. He tells me he rolled in from a gig in Leicester in the early hours. “You know what it’s like — we had to celebrate with a few beers after.” Whether he means a few or a few too many, what’s clear is that it’s been a long, long day. Hung over, he’s been rehearsing at the BBC’s Later . . . studios since morning. “We had to get here at 10 o’clock. What’s that all about?” he says in his gruff Woking accent. On Monday he releases his ninth solo album, 22 Dreams, a double CD containing the most varied music of his solo career. “I was determined to make a double album for my 50th —...

22 Dreams, Paul Weller's first new release in three years, coming July 22 on YepRoc Records! Noel Gallagher, Graham Coxon and others join Weller for twenty-one kaleidoscopic tracks of rock, soul, avant garde, electronica and more. One year in the making. Seventy minutes in length. Twenty-one songs. 22 Dreams. After a three year recording hiatus - during which he played two historic concert series in NYC and LA devoting one evening each to his Jam, Style Council, and solo catalogs, and earned Lifetime Achievement honors at the 2007 Brit Awards, among other highlights - Paul Weller returns on July 22 with 22 Dreams, his ninth solo album and the most ambitious of his career. 22 Dreams is not a return to form. It is not "Weller's best record since [fill in your favorite album here.]" It is a complete flowering of every musical impulse this artistic polymath has previously hinted at, and then some: rock, funk, soul, freak folk, free jazz, krautrock, classical, spoken word,...

Put Your Questions To Paul Weller! The Modfather is to answer questions from readers of the BBC London website ... Rooted almost exclusively in English culture and the glory days of The Who, Kinks and Small Faces, Weller needs scant introduction as the leader and driving force behind the formation of two iconic London bands, The Jam and The Style Council. Revered for being a prime influence on Brit Pop, he is alone amongst punk's Class of '76 to enjoy a successful and continuing solo career, winning recognition with a lifetime achievement honour at the 2006 Brit Awards. The Woking born singer/songwriter turns 50 this month and has invited fans to send questions about his life and career as he releases his ninth studio album, 22 Dreams, ahead of a couple of summer festival appearances and a full UK tour later this year. And Weller has also penciled in an interview with 94.9's Gary Crowley, to be recorded on Monday 2 June for broadcast at a later date, which will be devoted t...
