“Find El Dorado” will be released next July 25, the new cover album by Paul Weller, and on the road to El Dorado there is also room for the Bee Gees. The British singer -songwriter reinterpreted the 1968 classic “The Started to Joke“That, according to Weller, is” the fulcrum “of the whole album.

“It is one of those songs that makes you almost reconsider your own writing” explains the founder of the Jam and the Style Council. “Strengthens the value of a great melody. And perhaps with someone like Robin Gibb (under the solo voice), which did not play any tool, it is doubly important”. The exit of the cover is accompanied by an animated video clip, made of abstract and colorful graphics, in line with a disc that arises from the desire to look with the eyes of a child to songs that have accompanied the growth of the musician.

The project was described by Weller himself as “one Map of emotional and musical DNA“Of the artist, who revisits” songs that have lived for a long time in his mind, now reinterpreted with a new meaning and a sense of reverence “. Among the songs proposed in new guise they also include” Nobody’s Fool “of the Kinks and” Small Town Talk “by Bobby Charles.” These are songs that I have been carrying with me for years. Have taken on new forms over time. And now I seemed the time to share them. “

There are also prestigious collaborations to embellish the seventeen solo work: Robert Plant, Noel Gallagher (with whom he participated in the surprise concert of the Sex Pistols last March), Hannah Peel, Declan O’Rourke, Seckou Keita and Amelia Coburn, among others.
