Paul Weller makes music for a world in deep fracture. For several albums in a row, the English singer-songwriter has seemed jittery and anxious, but A Kind Revolution puts its finger on the pulse better than any of its predecessors. Part of that's simple timing: Released amid global political uncertainty, A Kind Revolution isn't explicitly topical, but its mood—one of fighting hard for hope, even in perilous days—captures the spirit of the age. It helps that this is also Weller's finest effort since 2008's sprawling 22 Dreams. Unlike some of the albums he's released in the interim, like Wake Up the Nation and Sonik Kicks, A Kind Revolution never feels fragmentary, even though it's certainly wide-ranging and eclectic. The difference is that Weller really gives his best ideas time to develop here, and his usual frenzied pacing is relaxed a bit, letting the songs fully unfold.

On recommence de s’interroger sur la révolution. Le vocable vient du passé, mais il est temps de le ressaisir à la lumière du présent. Impossible de ne pas commencer par la Révolution française. Impossible de ne pas continuer par la révolution soviétique et la révolution chinoise.

Paul Weller will release his 13th studio album, A Kind Revolution, in May and there’s some great formats at various price points… The album is a prompt follow-up to 2015’s Saturns Pattern and features contributions from the likes of PP Arnold, Boy George and Robert Wyatt.

Il est vrai qu'en un peu plus de trois mois, on n'avait pas encore vu une telle bousculade de régimes et de dynasties, de serments prêtés et reniés, de passions, d'enthousiasmes et de peurs. Napoélon débarque à Golfe-Juan le 1er mars 1815, il est à Paris, le 20. Dans l'intervalle, le régime des Bourbons s'effondre comme un château de cartes. Louis XVIII quitte Paris pour l'exil en Belgique dans la nuit du 19 au 20 mars, avec sa cour, sa maison militaire et ses ministres. …
