Paul Weller - Its Written In The Stars
Review by Mujahid Abdallah
"It's Written In The Stars," the latest album by Paul Weller, is a stunning addition to his already impressive discography. The album features a range of musical styles, from the soulful ballad "Moving On" to the upbeat rock anthem "Cosmic Fringes."
Weller's signature raspy vocals are as captivating as ever, and his songwriting remains top-notch. The album is a perfect blend of introspective lyrics and catchy, memorable hooks.
One of the standout tracks is "True," a stripped-down acoustic ballad that showcases Weller's emotional depth and vulnerability. The album's title track, "Written In The Stars," is another standout, with its driving rhythm and infectious chorus.

About Paul Weller

Born: 25 May 1958 in Sheerwater (Near Woking), Surrey, England, UK.
English singer, songwriter, and previous leader of two bands: and . In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star.
He was a central figure in the Mod revival. As the leader of he fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers that ranged from his mod-revival contemporaries to in the 1980s and in the 1990s.
During the final days of The Jam he developed a fascination with and soul music, which led him to form the sophisti-pop group in 1983. As The Style Councils career progressed, Wellers interest in soul moved towards an infatuation with jazz-pop and house music, which led to the gradual erosion of his audience and the eventual split of The Style Council in 1990.
Weller launched his solo career in 1992 and by the mid 1990s, he had released three successful albums which were both critically acclaimed and massively popular in England.
Then contemporary bands like were citing him as an influence. Just as importantly, many observers, while occasionally criticizing the trad-rock nature of his music, acknowledged that Weller was one of the few rock veterans that had managed to stay vital within the second decade of his career.

It's written in the wind
That we're two
Carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
To be glad
We're hopelessly informed
That we're meant
We're conscious of the fact
That we're supposed
To be so sure
And we are
We're driven by the
Rain to act
We're suspect to the laws
Passed for real
When we're the realest
Thing we've seen
Taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
We work for love
And it's written in the stars
Meant for us
Soaked into the sand
Made by time
Taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
That we work for love
It's written in the wind
That we're two
Carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
To be glad
That we're two
Carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
To be glad
We're hopelessly informed
That we're meant
We're conscious of the fact
That we're supposed
To be so sure
And we are
We're driven by the
Rain to act
We're suspect to the laws
Passed for real
When we're the realest
Thing we've seen
Taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
We work for love
And it's written in the stars
Meant for us
Soaked into the sand
Made by time
Taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
That we work for love
It's written in the wind
That we're two
Carved out in the sand
That we're real
It's lit up in the stars
That we're true
We're destined in the sky
To be glad
