Verdict: Hypnotic blues
One of the few positives of a lockdown now happily coming to an end has been its impact on pop's most restless souls.
With tour plans in tatters, artists from Taylor Swift to Van Morrison have simply stayed in and made new music. Continuing his late-career purple patch, Paul Weller is now joining the club.
It's only ten months since he last topped the charts with his 15th solo album, On Sunset, but he's used his enforced isolation to good effect, capturing ideas on his phone and adding piano, guitar and vocals in his home studio before getting his band to play their parts remotely.
