Listen to Paul Weller's breezy new single 'Village'

Paul Weller has released a breezy new single ahead of the release of his upcoming 15th studio album – listen to ‘Village’ below.

The Modfather co-wrote his latest song with his longtime producer Jan “Stan” Kybert, and it features his former Style Council bandmate Mick Talbot on keys.

“’Village’ is a dreamy and beautiful meditation sung from the decidedly un-rock’n’roll perspective of a man who is entirely happy with his state in life,” Weller said of the song. “It’s a response to being told that we’ve all got to explore the Amazon and climb Everest to make our lives complete. And there’s a guy who says, fuck all that, I’ve got heaven around me.”

Listen to ‘Village’ below:

The single will land on Weller’s upcoming new album ‘On Sunset’, which is due to arrive on June 19, and will mark his first record on Polydor Records.

He’ll support the release with a string of shows, which were recently rescheduled due to the coronavrius pandemic. See the new dates below.
