Paul Weller’s next R 'n B-flavoured album - his first since 2010's Wake up the Nation - will likely feature 12 new songs and will be released on Parlophone, the label which has an almost iconic status through its associations with The Beatles.
"While growing up listening to The Beatles, I dreamed one day of being signed to Parlophone Records, “ said the Modfather. “I'm now honoured to become part of the label with all its great history and a great roster of artists.”
“Paul Weller is one of a few great British songwriters and artists that has always moved forward and never looked back, “ declares Miles Leonard, who is chairman of the record label. “He has consistently delivered great music that feels important, has cultural relevance and has attitude and emotion in equal measures.”
Parlophone ‘s current roster includes Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Lily Allen, David Guetta, Kylie Minogue, Iron Maiden, Becky Hill, Conor Maynard, Tinie Tempah, Two Door Cinema Club, Bat for Lashes and Gabrielle Aplin among others. The label became part of Warner Music Group in 2013.
