Paul Weller: Prepare New Single 'Fast Car/ Slow Traffic'


Paul Weller is set to release new single 'Fast Car / Slow Traffic' on September 13th.
Paul Weller is enjoying an unbelievable late burst to his career. An undeniable icon, the Modfather is choosing to take risks where other artists from the same generation are resting on their laurels.
With his new album returning 'Wake Up The Nation' earlier this year, Paul Weller seemed to have more energy than artists half his age. Fresh from scooping a BRIT award the singer took on board political concerns for a spiky, enraged return.
In a decade perhaps his best album, 'Wake Up The Nation' rightfully earned a nomination at the Mercury Music Prize. After winning a BRIT award could fate smile twice on the legendary songwriter?
Supporting the album with lung bursting tours, Paul Weller on September 13th is set to release a new single. A double A-side the single features 'Fast Car / Slow Traffic' backed with 'Andromeda'.
Recorded with former Jam cohort Bruce Foxton, 'Fast Car / Slow Traffic' is apparently inspired by life in London. Paul Weller said, "It's a real London tune. It's a pretty full on. It was actually interesting to hear Bruce playing on it. You can immediately tell it's him".
In addition to the new single Paul Weller has confirmed details of a lengthy British tour. Opening on November 23rd in Brighton, the tour moves around the country taking in a number of venues.
Running throughout November and December, Paul Weller is set to finish the tour with a celebratory show at London's Wembley Arena.
