Paul Weller
has shared his new single ‘Shades Of Blue’, which was co-written with his
daughter Leah – you can hear the track below.
The song is
taken from Weller’s upcoming new album ‘Fat Pop (Volume 1)’, which is set for
release on May 14. The LP was written and recorded during the first coronavirus
lockdown last year.
Following on
from previous singles ‘Cosmic Fringes’ and ‘Glad Times’, ‘Shades Of Blue’ has
now been released. The song was co-written with Leah Weller, who contributed
lyrics and backing vocals to the track.
An official
video for ‘Shades Of Blue’ is “coming soon” according to Weller’s Twitter
account, but you can hear the song now.
Weller
recently rescheduled a number of his upcoming UK tour dates to spring 2022 due
to the coronavirus pandemic. He still plans on embarking on another tour in
November.
Leah Weller,
who released two solo singles (‘Change’ and ‘Strangers’) last year, spoke to
NME back in September about how she feels about having her music compared to
her dad’s.
“I think that
with anybody who puts something out, there’s always the fear that it might be
judged, as it’s something that’s very personal to you,” she said. “I do usually
run stuff past my dad to see what his opinion is, from the musician’s point of
view. I would rather show it to my dad and him give me his feedback than
release something that’s really not good and hear it from someone else.
“My parents
have always been just very supportive no matter what I wanted to do, but coming
from a musical background, I knew from an early age that I was into music. I
was always singing; I was always trying to pick up guitar. My dad got me my
first guitar for my 12th birthday. I remember writing my first song. I think it
was called something like, ‘Same Shit, Different Day’ – I was a bit of an emo
kid!”
