Paul Weller has shared plans for a new covers album.
Produced by long-time collaborator Steve Cradock of Ocean Colour Scene, 'Find El Dorado' will arrive through Parlophone on July 25.
The 15-track collection will feature new versions of songs by Richie Havens, Bobby Charles, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Bee Gees, The Kinks, and more, as well as contributions from Hannah Peel, Declan O’Rourke, Robert Plant, Seckou Keita, Amelia Coburn and Noel Gallagher. Weller said:
"These are songs I’ve carried with me for years. They’ve taken on new shapes over time. And now felt like the moment to share them."
Alongside the news, the former Jam frontman has shared two tracks from the record, the soulful Lawdy Rolla, originally by French band The Guerrillas, and the breezy Pinball, a 1974 hit by Brian Protheroe.
Weller released his latest studio album, '66', in 2024. His last collection of covers, 'Studio 150', arrived back in 2004 and included versions of Wishing On A Star, All Along The Watchtower, and The Carpenters' Close To You.
