Find El Dorado' is a deeply personal new album of reinterpretations, that sees Weller revisit songs that have long lived in the back of his mind - now reimagined with fresh meaning and a sense of reverence. Less a covers album and more a map of his emotional and musical DNA.  Produced by Steve Cradock, the album includes further guest appearances from Declan O’Rourke, Noel Gallagher, Amelia Coburn, Seckou Keita, Robert Plant and more.
First single Lawdy Rolla is released on 21 May as a 2-track digital release including Pinball. An official video launches later this month, with the 7” due out on 20th June.

Paul Weller lifts the lid on his album Find El Dorado with the release of its first single, ‘Lawdy Rolla’ — a striking double-header that also includes a fresh take on ‘Pinball’.

More than just covers, these tracks reflect Weller’s ongoing relationship with the songs that have shaped him. ‘Lawdy Rolla’ is delivered with soulful restraint, allowing its bluesy undercurrents to rise through crisp, stripped-back production. ‘Pinball’, originally by Brian Protheroe, is reimagined with tender introspection, revealing new emotional weight in its familiar lines.

Both tracks speak to the spirit of reinterpretation that guides the wider project — not just homage, but rediscovery. Produced by Steve Cradock and featuring subtle contributions from a close circle of collaborators, the single sets the tone for an album that blurs the lines between memory, influence and reinvention.
