Paul Weller is releasing his 17th solo album 66 on May 24, the day before his 66th birthday.
Today, the legendary former frontman of the Jam and the Style Council has given us another taste of the record by sharing the languid, jazzy new track "Nothing."
Listen to "Nothing" below.
Weller recorded 66 at his own Black Barn Studio, and the LP features contributions from friends and collaborators including Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Madness’ Suggs, Richard Hawley, the Blow Monkeys’ Dr Robert, Le SuperHomard’s Christophe Vaillant, and Erland Cooper, plus string arrangements by Hannah Peel.
The album's lead single "Soul Wandering," co-written with Gillespie, was previously shared alongside the album announcement back in February.
Here's 66's tracklist:
Weller has a busy tour schedule lined up for this summer and autumn.
After he wraps up his current U.K. tour this summer, he'll head over across the pond in September for his first North American tour in seven years.
Then he'll head back for another big headlining tour of the U.K. a month later with support from singer-songwriter Liam Bailey.
