The Style Council – Our Favourite Shop

The Style Council – Our Favourite Shop

A sharp, stylish statement from The Style Council, Our Favourite Shop blends soulful pop, jazz influences, and political commentary into one of the band’s most ambitious releases. Led by Paul Weller, the album captures mid-1980s Britain through a mix of socially conscious lyrics and sophisticated, genre-crossing arrangements.

From lush orchestration to punchy brass sections and funk-infused rhythms, the record moves effortlessly between moods - at times reflective, at others upbeat and defiant. It stands as a defining moment in Weller’s post-Jam career, combining musical exploration with a clear sense of purpose.
