<\/div>\n

Paul Weller<\/a> fuses new wave, pop, R&B, and electronic music on his new single \u201cEarth Beat.\u201d The track finds the former frontman for the Jam and the Style Council singing about feeling hope for a new day with his guest on the song, R&B artist Col3trane. \u201cI feel that earth beat close to mine,\u201d Weller sings. \u201cI know that earth beat every time.\u201d The song will appear on Weller\u2019s upcoming LP On Sunset<\/em>, which is due out June 12th.<\/p>\n

Weller notably plays guitar, bass, sitar, Hammond organ, piano, Rhodes, and synthesizer on the song, in addition to singing, and he also wore many hats on the rest of the album. He also welcomes a number of guests, like Col3trane, to appear on the album. Jim Lea of glam rockers Slade (who wrote \u201cCum On Feel the Noize\u201d and \u201cMama Weer All Crazee Now,\u201d both of which Quiet Riot covered) plays violin on \u201cEquanimity.\u201d And Mick Talbot, who played keyboards with Weller in the Style Council, played Hammond organ on three songs. Other guests include French singer Julie Gros, a member of Le SuperHomard, the Strypes\u2019 guitarist Josh McClorey, and folk trio the Staves.<\/p>\n

The songs came together around the time Weller completed his last LP, True Meanings<\/em>. \u201cMirror Ball,\u201d which opens the album, was originally supposed to be a B-side to a song from that album, but Weller decided to hold it back.<\/p>\n

The soulful sound of \u201cEarth Beat\u201d should come as no surprise to fans of Weller, who has long professed his love of soul and R&B music. In 2017, he made Rolling Stone <\/em>a list<\/a> of his five favorite Curtis Mayfield songs, including \u201cThe Makings of You,\u201d \u201cHard Times,\u201d and \u201cWe Must Be in Love.\u201d<\/p>\n
