Paul Weller Unsure If Noel Gallagher Will Appear On His New Album!


Paul Weller has revealed he doesn’t yet know whether his good friend Noel Gallagher will feature on his new album after the former Oasis leader joined him in the studio for an informal jam recently.

In an interview with NME, Weller talked up Noel’s talents on drums, but hasn’t yet decided what will make the final cut on the follow-up to his Mercury-nominated ‘Wake Up The Nation‘. “If you’re referring to Phil Collins he came down and did a few tracks,” he said. “Nah, Noel just came down as a mate and jammed for a few hours as a mate. Whether he makes the album or not we’ll see. He’s a very good drummer, people don’t realise he’s a good all-round musician.”

Weller also said he believes the album is some way off completion, and expects a delay before the new year due to his touring commitments. “I haven’t finished the record, I’ve started it, done eight or nine tracks, maybe a few more than that,” he explained. “It’s going the right way, but I don’t know when I’ll finish it because I’m on tour from now to December.”

"There's elements of 'Wake Up The Nation' in the sound, but it's moved on again I think. There's a few avant-garde moments, shall I say, some sort of soundscape tracks as well and some pop sounding things as well. It's a mix, really. Just good tunes."

Paul Weller’s UK tour is due to begin in Brighton on November 23rd following a series of dates in Dublin.

Album Preview: Paul Weller Recruits Noel Gallagher, Thunderstorms to Share His “22 Dreams” “You get to this stage in life where you say ‘I’ve done everything that I can do,’” says Paul Weller. As he passes the half-century mark, Weller easily could have returned to his old stomping grounds, whether it was the mod-punk of his first band the Jam or the pop leanings of the Style Council. But rather than reliving past glory, Weller spent the last year recording 22 Dreams, the most expansive and experimental album of his career. “I was conscious when I walked into the studio that I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to make As Is Now Part 2,” Weller tells Rock Daily. “There was this mentality where it was like, ‘Let’s try anything that comes into your mind.’” Weller sequestered himself in his country studio, recruited some famous Britpop friends like Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon and spent hours improvising with his band. The result was 22 Dreams, a genre-leapin
