Paul Weller´s back to northern soul

The Modfather Paul Weller has gone back to his Northern Soul roots in some style on the single, ‘Are You Trying To Be Lonely?’, recorded with artist Andy Lewis and released on the Acid Jazz label.

Lewis, considered an arbiter of the nu-soul sound popularised by contemporaries such as Amy Winehouse and Candie Payne, made his name in the 90’s as the original DJ at the legendary Blow Up club in Wardour Street.

The collaboration for the single came together after Weller, an admirer of Andy Lewis’ work, was handed some demos by Lewis at a gig. Weller was so impressed by the material that just two weeks later they were in the studio recording together.

‘Are You Trying To Be Lonely?’ has been taken from Andy Lewis’ album, ‘You Should Be Hearing Something Now’, (Acid Jazz)
