Comes a time…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Coming July 22<\/strong>, Paul Weller will release a sure-to-be sprawling masterpiece, entitled 22 Dreams<\/em>. If the following Product Description<\/strong> from Amazon<\/strong> doesn’t inspire you to pre-order the CD<\/a>, perhaps an honest re-examination of Weller’s work with Style Council<\/a> will.<\/p>\n

”After As Is Now<\/em> I thought the time was right to make the sort of record I wanted to make,” says Paul Weller of the creative process which led to his striking ninth solo album 22 Dreams<\/em>. ”Instead of worrying about anyone else, I wanted to really push the boat out. I think the result is going to surprise a few people.” Surprises have always been part of the artistic vernacular for the man who changed rock forever with The Jam, explored a host of eclectic influences with The Style Council and cemented his position as the patriarch of Brit pop with his legendary solo work. 22 Dreams<\/em> is the latest chapter in a creative journey spanning 30 years, with material spanning the full breadth of popular music rock to classical, avant garde to funk and spoken word to experimental. In addition to a cast of Weller s frequent collaborators including Steve Cradock<\/strong> and producer Simon Dine, 22 Dreams<\/em> also features some of the largest beneficiaries of Weller’s incalculable musical influence. Noel Gallagher and Gem from Oasis lend their talents to “Echoes Around the Sun”, a writing collaboration between Weller and Gallagher. Ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appears on “Black River”. The spirit of collaboration and an in-the-moment creative approach have resulted in one of Weller s most spirited works and one that is sure to expand the artistic canon of the one and only Modfather.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
