Paul Weller releases his fourteenth solo album in September, the twenty sixth studio album of his entire career. True Meanings is a record unlike any he has ever made before. It is not “a departure”, in the sense that soul bearing, melancholic songs have always been an important part of what he does: from English Rose, to Brand New Start, right up to The Ballad Of Jimmy McCabe from last year’s Jawbone soundtrack. But never, ever before has he allowed himself an entire album to exhibit this side of his song-writing, or presented them quite like this.

‘True Meanings’ is an album characterised by grandiose-yet-delicate, lush orchestration: an aesthetic to which Paul’s better-than-ever voice, singing some of his most nakedly honest words, is perfectly suited. It is both an album that a lot of his faithful audience have been wanting him to make for a long time, and an album that many new people outside of that audience will relate to.

On the 25th May this year, Paul Weller turned 60: a milestone that has unquestionably had an impact on the feel, both lyrically and musically, of ‘True Meanings’ which comes across being the most singer-songwriter-style album he has ever made. However, it is also the most collaborative: with more guests than any record he’s been involved in before.

As well as all the members of Weller’s band, Rod Argent of the Zombies provides Hammond organ on The Soul Searchers and piano and Mellotron on White Horses; folk legends Martin Carthy and Danny Thompson add picked guitar and double bass respectively to Come Along; Little Barrie plays lead guitar on Old Castles; Lucy Rose sings backup on Books; and Movin On is the result of a“scratchy demo”on Paul’s phone that was sent to Tom Doyle of the White Label project. Even Noel Gallagher makes a sneaky appearance.

Perhaps most surprisingly of all, especially given how personal and introspective True Meanings feels, lyrics for four of the fourteen songs here were written, to Weller’s melodies, by others. Connor O’Brien from Villagers came up with the words to opener The Soul Searchers, while Bowie, Wishing Well and the closing White Horses are all the work, lyrically, of Erland Cooper from Erland & The Carnival.

True Meanings was produced by Paul Weller except ‘The Soul Searchers’, which was co-produced by Paul and Conor O’Brien and Movin On which was co-produced by Weller and White Label. Thealbum was engineered and recorded by Charles Rees and mixed by Jan Stan Kybert.

The album was recorded in just over 3 weeks at Paul’s own Black Barn Studio, with the aforementioned, revolving cast of characters dropping in for a day here and there. The orchestration was added soon after, and that was that. It is always a good sign when the recording of an album is swift, and here you can just hear that the man at the centre of these songs is as focused and inspired – more inspired, even – than he has ever been.
