The video for the first single from Paul Weller’s forthcoming new album Sonik Kicks debuted this morning on VEVO.

It is a song that details the agonies of the frustrated middle-aged wage slave, “That Dangerous Age” is set to be yet another Weller classic.

Speaking about the track, Paul said: “There was an inference that I was going through a mid-life crises. Which I found really amusing: the cliched notion of it. And that was the impetus for (the song) even though it isn’t really about that. “It’s a bit tongue in cheek, too. I guess it’s also about how society views people of a certain age. For me, does it really matter what age you are? It’s what’s up there in your soul that matters.”

2012 marks two important anniversaries for Paul Weller. In 1977 (35 years ago) The Jam burst on to the music scene with their debut album In The City, which without question was one of the most important punk albums to ever be released. Since then Weller consistently changed and evolved his sound through his work with The Style Council and as a solo artist. It was also 20 years ago in 1992 when Weller released his self-titled first ever solo album.

With Sonik Kicks Paul Weller once again shakes up his palate and stirs his influences anew. He mixes pop art punch with soulful communication; jazzy explorations into psychedelia and dub with razor-sharp melodies and abstract soundscapes with clear-eyed forest-folk.
