The Blue...Weller has always had the boogie in him. The Blue Eyed house of the last few singles and the last Style Council album - Modernism - A New Decade, were accomplished and maybe just ahead of their time. Plenty of Blue Eyed House would follow and succeed in the market place.<br />I love Starlite - I live even more, that it was a one off. It feels like a bridge from Style Council to the Paul Weller Movement Era. The chorus just makes you smile and raise your arms - maybe even do a bit of a shuffle, with its 4 On The Floor rubbery bass. It is the youngest Weller had sounded for years when it came out.<br />There is a cracking Drop Out Orchestra Remix that deserves attention as well. It's full of effects and...acoustic guitar, even some strings that bring a Soul II Soul influence.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-81155800784554366932020-12-17T20:47:51.922+00:002020-12-17T20:47:51.922+00:00I think he's done some of his best solo stuff ...I think he's done some of his best solo stuff over the last 12 years or so, starting with 22 Dreams.
