Paul Weller: 'My new album is cutting edge'

Paul Weller has told how he believes his new album 'Sonik Kicks' is unlike any other music on the market right now.

The album is set to score Weller a No.1 in the UK album charts this weekend, and in an interview with Billboard.com, reveals his confidence in his new sound.

"I think the new record is really cutting edge, really modern, and I don't think there is anything around that sounds like it, regardless of age or status or whatever," he tells the website.

He also revealed his disappointment with the state of modern music, adding that 'Sonik Kicks' is retaliation against a stale music scene.

"I find a lot of music really tame," he added. "This (album) is my reaction against that. I'm trying to stir up something, I suppose, in my mind, and just get people excited about music again. I want to blow people's minds."
