└────────┘
As the leader of The Jam, Paul Weller fronted the most popular British band
of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers ranging from his
mod revival contemporaries to The Smiths in the 80s and Oasis in the 90s.
During the final days of The Jam, he developed a fascination with Motown
and soul, which led him to form the sophisti-pop group The Style Council in
1983. As The Style Council's career progressed, Weller's interest in soul
developed into an infatuation with jazz-pop and house music, which
eventually led to gradual erosion of his audience - by 1990, he couldn't
get a record contract in the U.K., where he had previously been worshiped
as a demigod. As a solo artist, Weller returned to soul music as an
inspiration, cutting it with the progressive, hippie tendencies of Traffic.
There's gentleness at the heart of the title "A Kind Revolution", a
suggestion that Weller is getting softer as he approaches the age of 60. In
2017, he's still a few years away from that milestone but he's letting
himself take things a little slower, absorbing the spaciness of 2015's
"Saturn's Pattern" and reviving the sculpted soulful grooves of "Wild
Wood". This combination means "A Kind Revolution" feels straighter than any
record Weller has released in the past decade - in other words, anything
he's done since he started his collaboration with Simon Dine, who
acrimoniously parted after 2012's Sonik Kicks - but where "As Is Now" hit
hard, this has an easy touch even when the events kick off with the raver
"Woo Se Mama".
This isn't the only time guitars are cranked on "A Kind Revolution" -
"Satellite Kid" descends into an extended jam - but soul is Weller's
guiding star on this record, leading him to the well-manicured upscale Boy
George duet "One Tear" and the sharp funk of "She Moves With The Fayre",
which features a cameo from Robert Wyatt. These guest appearances,
particularly Wyatt's, suggest how Weller isn't content to settle into a
familiar groove - the lovely vocal harmonies on the closing "The Impossible
Idea" are further indication of that - but "A Kind Revolution" nevertheless
feels cozy, a record designed to provide nothing but comfort and that's an
unusual twist for Paul Weller.
