Tell me more: Paul Weller's forthcoming album Finding El Dorado (available on Friday, July 25, 2025 courtesy of Warner Records) is an ambitious collection of cover versions that have influenced and ultimately led the beloved English artist to record these 15 tracks via artfully reworked versions that honor the originals while showcasing Weller's singular sonic approach.

Weller's well-known talents are bolstered on the Steve Cradock-produced recordings by a handful of top-tier guests. Early standouts on the collection include the nuanced cover of Richie Havens' "Handouts In The Rain" that finds Weller trading lead vocals with Declan O'Rourke, a lavish acoustic reading of Eamon Friel's "El Dorado" with Weller's potent vocals enhanced by Noel Gallagher's expressive acoustic guitar work, a shimmering take on the Merle Haggard-penned Flying Burrito Brothers classic "White Line Fever" and Brian Protheroe's stark "Pinball."

The strength and diversity of the album's track listing continues via a poignant strings-swept version of The Bee Gees' "I Started A Joke," rootsy groove-infused version of The Guerrillas' "Lawdy Rolla" and many other powerful selections; Robert Plant (lead / backing vocals & harmonica on "Clive's Song") and Amelia Coburn (vocals on "One Last Cold Kiss") are among the other guests who appear on the highly-anticipated disc.

The album will be available on audio CD and vinyl, as well as via digital. Information: paulweller.com.
