A Heavy Soul EP

Paul Weller

Gritty, high-energy soul-rock with a sharp mod edge. Saturated analog textures meet street-level songwriting and heavy Hammond organ grooves.

It's Weller at his grittiest, sounding like a soul revue that crashed into a garage rock session.

A high-octane blend of urban restlessness and deep-seated soulful conviction.
