Paul Weller – 66 (2024) – Double vinyl

“66” is the 17th solo album by Paul Weller, released 24 May 2024, the day before his 66th birthday. It’s a reflective, mature work that balances introspection with musical variety — folk, soul, pop, touches of jazz, even orchestral flourishes. Although Weller is well‑established, he looks outward here — bringing in collaborators for lyrics (Noel Gallagher, Suggs, Bobby Gillespie), producers, orchestral arrangers (Le Superhomard). There’s a willingness to try new textures while still holding onto familiar strengths. “66” is not an album of radical reinvention, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s Weller drawing on what he’s learned, accepting where he is, still reaching for something more. For a long‑career artist, it’s a mature work: thoughtful, sonically rich, not afraid to be vulnerable.
