Paul Weller will be performing other people’s song with lots of famous friends on his upcoming album ‘Find El Dorado’.

Declan O’Rourke, Noel Gallagher, Amelia Coburn, Seckou Keita and Robert Plant will contribute to the album but Weller isn’t called it a covers record. He says the songs are reminagined.

‘Find El Dorado’ is a deeply personal new album of reinterpretations, that sees Weller revisit songs that have long lived in the back of his mind – now reimagined with fresh meaning and a sense of reverence. Less a covers album and more a map of his emotional and musical DNA.

‘Lawdy Rolla’ and ‘Pinball’ are the first two tracks we get to hear from the album.

‘Finding El Dorado’ is the 17th Paul Weller solo album.
