Our Take

The Style Council’s Long Hot Summers: The Story Of The Style is a musical journey through the eclectic world of Paul Weller and Mick Talbot. This collection is like a hot cup of English breakfast tea on a summer's day, comforting yet invigorating.

Opening track "Speak Like a Child" sets the tone with its jazzy vibe and Weller’s smooth vocals. It’s like being transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London. The infectious energy continues with hits like "My Ever Changing Moods" and "Headstart for Happiness", making you want to dance around your living room like nobody's watching.

But it's not all about the catchy hooks and funky beats. Tracks like "The Paris Match" and "Long Hot Summer" showcase Weller’s songwriting skills, exploring themes of love, longing, and nostalgia with a poetic touch.

The real standout of this album, though, is the live performances. The raw energy and passion that Weller and Talbot bring to the stage is truly electrifying. You can almost feel the sweat dripping down their foreheads as they tear through tracks like "You’re the Best Thing" and "Shout to the Top".

Overall, Long Hot Summers is a must-have for any fan of The Style Council or anyone looking to add some British charm to their music collection. So put on your best mod suit, grab a pint of ale, and let The Style Council whisk you away on a musical journey you won’t soon forget. Cheers!
