Sleeve M; Vinyl M. Fat Pop is Paul Weller’s energetic 16th solo album, blending sleek synth-pop, soulful grooves, and punchy rock. Key tracks like the post‑punk opener “Cosmic Fringes,” the breezy title track “Fat Pop,” and the poignant “Shades of Blue” (cowritten with his daughter Leah) showcase his flair for melody and emotional directness. Written largely during the 2020 lockdown in his Surrey studio, Fat Pop debuted at No. 1 on the UK Album Chart—Weller’s sixth solo chart-topper—and confirmed his enduring relevance well into his sixth decade.
