Paul Weller Is Critic Of Younger Artists For Not “Releasing Enough Music”
The younger generation of artists has come under fire from veteran musician Paul Weller. The iconic musician has expressed his opinion that there isn’t “enough music” released by younger musicians and says it’s a source of concern. The singer-songwriter, who was once The Jam’s leader, attributed his career’s success and durability to touring and releasing new music often, and he expects the new generation to keep up by releasing quality music often. He has stated that he finds it puzzling that some younger musicians go for years without producing a new record and wonders why and what they do with the time on their hands.
Weller spoke to the Daily Star’s Wired column,
“Isn’t that part of the job description that you go on tour and you make records? That’s probably an old-school way of looking at it, but that’s all it’s about really,” “I think it still applies. I think there’s something to be said for consistency and keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it out.
“As opposed to a lot of the younger artists who make an album, then don’t make another for five or seven years. I don’t understand that. I often think, ‘What do you do in those in-between years?’”
“You can’t be on tour for five or seven years touring the same record, surely?”
“Somebody like Amy Winehouse, who was a brilliant artist, she’s only left two records in the world. I think that’s why it’s important to put out as much as you can. Not just for the sake of it, not [rubbish] , obviously.”
Weller, who will resume touring soon, revealed back in November that he will be embarking on a tour of the UK and Ireland later in the spring. Beginning on April 4, the dates will make stops at the Lighthouse venue in Poole and the Beacon in Bristol the following day. Throughout the month, he will make stops in Newport, Southend, Leicester, Sheffield, and other locations. The final performance of the tour takes place on April 21 in Cambridge.
