Vincent is at 4 and on course to achieve her best chart placement ever in the UK, and rounding out the Top 5 at 5 are the Black Keys with their covers album Delta Kream.

The Modfather’s 16 th studio album has notched up the most CD and vinyl sales of the week so far and holds an overall advantage of almost 13,000 chart sales over his closest competition. It’s a stellar performance, however, and a great listen when driving in the car.Paul Weller is leading the race for Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with Fat Pop. It features seven songs from last year’s On Sunset and three from Fat Pop and, as it’s a live album without an audience, will likely be heard by future generations as an artifact of the Pandemic Age. In a sense, it’s modern jazz by way of remix.ĭisc 2, titled “Mid-Sömmer Musik,” is lifted from an online gig that Weller and his band (Steve Craddock, Andy Crofts, Steve Pilgrim, Tom Heel, Ben Gordelier and Jacko Peake) streamed last November, though the show itself was filmed in August. I have no doubt that some folks will find it a highly indulgent exercise that goes nowhere, but for me and my ears, it’s a wild ride through a warm soundscape, as fascinating after the 15th listen as it was after the first. Its placement couldn’t be better, however, as it leads into “Fat Mix,” a 16-minute “Revolution No. Other times, an unexpected live treat – such as Weller’s take on CSNY’s “Ohio” or his merging of “Bull-Rush” with the Who’s “Magic Bus” – left you agog. Occasionally, a hidden gem – such as Weller’s “Everything Has a Price to Pay” from the “Above the Clouds” single – was found. Some may find it a bit much, but those who do likely never dug through record-shop bins in hopes of unearthing 45s or CD singles that featured non-album tracks on the B-side or as bonus tracks.
Paul weller fat pop review plus#
The Fat Pop deluxe edition adds the metaphoric flip sides into the mix, plus an in-studio live set. It’s a great set – my favorite of the year thus far, in fact. Some tracks sport sick beats, others plaintive melodies, and all circulate and percolate through the cosmos of the mind like a comet shooting through the galaxy. They’re a diverse lot of strong songs, from straight-up rock to heavy soul, with the connective tissue being Weller’s weathered vocals.
I still hear it as a stack of 45s, all A-sides, that drop to the turntable in succession. My opinion hasn’t wavered a whisker since I offered my thoughts on Paul Weller’s Fat Pop album in mid-May.
