We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, the coolest thing Paul Weller could do would be to reform The Style Council. Millions might disagree, but that’s what would make it cool. He hasn’t done that, and he isn’t likely to. But the next best thing would be to release a new track that sounds like an outtake from 1987’s The Cost Of Loving album. Yes, THAT GOOD!

Apparently it’s not going to be on his upcoming album, suggesting it doesn’t quite fit, so we won’t expect any more slow, soulful, housey grooves. But this one will do us nicely. Thanks Paul.

 

Here are the details we’ve copied and pasted from the website:

“The song comes accompanied by several remixes and will be available on 12" vinyl and as a digital download.

Speaking about 'Starlite', Weller said: "Here's a brand new track called 'Starlite' in time for the Summer. It's not from the forthcoming album, it's just for NOW! It's part Balearic beat, poetry and psychedelic music. I hope you like it. PWx"

The tracklisting for the iTunes bundle released on August 7th is:

1. Starlite (Original)
2. Starlite (Drop Out Orchestra Remix)
3. Starlite (Black Van Remix)

The 12" vinyl released on August 29th will contain:

A.  Starlite (Original)
AA. Starlite (Drop Out Orchestra Remix)

B.  Starlite (Black Van Remix)
BB. Starlite (D-Pulse Remix)”
