Our Take

The Style Council's latest offering, "Café Bleu," is a whimsical journey through the sophisticated world of 80s British pop. With their signature blend of jazzy soul and new wave, Paul Weller and crew transport listeners to a Parisian cafe where croissants are aplenty and berets are mandatory.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "My Ever Changing Moods," a song that perfectly encapsulates the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres. Weller's smooth vocals float effortlessly over funky basslines and jazzy horns, creating a sound that is at once retro and refreshingly modern.

Tracks like "Headstart for Happiness" and "The Paris Match" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and clever lyrics. Weller's clever wordplay and sharp wit are on full display, making "Café Bleu" a joy to listen to from start to finish.

But it's not all fun and games on this album. The haunting ballad "You're the Best Thing" brings a touch of melancholy to the proceedings, with Weller's emotive vocals tugging at the heartstrings. It's a poignant moment in an otherwise upbeat collection of songs.

Overall, "Café Bleu" is a delightful romp through the stylish sounds of the 80s. The Style Council may have disbanded long ago, but their music lives on in this timeless album. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put on your best beret, and let the smooth grooves of "Café Bleu" transport you to a world of sophistication and charm.
