Gabrielle, returns with her classy new single, "Why" on September 24th through Universal Music Record Label. The single will be available to download from September 17th.

The song is built around a sample from Paul Weller's "Wild Wood" and was one of the final songs Gabrielle wrote for her new album. After recording a demo, the track was re-recorded with Paul Weller playing guitar and singing backing vocals.

Lord Large featuring Dean Parrish: Left, Right & Centre
Left, Right & Centre is a song written a little while ago by a then 15-year-old called Paul Weller. Until recently the song only existed as a demo, but it eventually ended up in the Lord Large production room via Wigan Casino DJ/founder Russ Winstanley, Acid Jazz’s Eddie Piller, and Ocean Colour Scene/Weller guitarist, Steve Cradock. Cradock is one of several guest musicians on the track, which also includes Corduroy bassist, Richard Searle, and dance anthem singer, Andrea Britton.
The main vocal on this track is by American star Dean Parrish, whose song “I’m on my way” was an early smash on the Northern scene, and went on to become the biggest ever selling Northern Soul 45”.

Lyrics: I'm Only Dreaming
If the smile on my face Doesn't mean much any more Then its all been just a waste of time So wont you close your door But when I look into your eyes I feel there's still something there And something's all I need to hold on to I can lie to myself I still care I still care about the way... And the little things you say Won't you please come out to play I'm only dreaming I'm only dreaming What good does dreaming do, when you're nowhere? I got nobody to hold on to, But I keep on smiling, crying See me walking down the street Just turn your head and walk away 'Cos by now you ought to know how I feel and there's no more I'm only dreaming I'm only dreaming Oh, yeah

Noonday Underground - Bio
The duo of DJ Simon Dine and vocalist Daisy Martey threw their hats into the ever-growing ring of record-collector rock as Noonday Underground. After Dine's departure from Adventures in Stereo around 1997, the duo hooked up after allegedly bumping into each other at a Clapham pizza restaurant. Culling their influences from all things late '60s -- from exotic film music to West Coast pop to the production techniques of Jack Nitzche -- they quietly issued their debut LP, Self-Assembly, in 2000. Setanta reissued the record the following year. Paul Weller was an early supporter of the duo; in a poll for the NME, he rather bizarrely listed them as "Most Influential Band of All Time." ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
‘Paul Weller is one of a handful of people who I can play rough ideas to and who I know will give an honest opinion,’ says Simon. ‘He actually volunteered to be on Surface Noise without me asking him. Basically, I started working with Paul for his new album back in January of 2001. I’d play him bits and he’d say ‘maybe not for my album, but maybe I can do something on that for yours’. So that’s how ‘I’ll Walk Right On’ came about. The second track, ‘Thunder Park’, was going to be on Paul’s album but it didn’t fit in, so again we just used it for mine. More than anything he was just a great sounding board for this album. He suggested I should mix it with Stan Kybert at Noel Gallagher’s studio, which made a massive difference."

The Jam - Carnation - Lyrics (Paul Weller)
If you gave me a fresh carnation I would only crush it's tender petals With me you'll have now escape And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle - I trample down all life in my wake I eat it up and take the cake I just avert my eyes to the pain Of someone's loss helping my gain If you gave me a dream for my pocket You'd be plugging in the wrong socket With me there's no room for the future With me there's no room with a view at all - I am out of season all year 'round Hear machinery roar to my empty sound Touch my heart and feel winter Hold my hand and be doomed forever -
If you gave me a fresh carnation I would only crush it's tender petals With me you'll have now escape And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle. And if you're wondering by now who I am Look no further than the mirror - Because I am the Greed and Fear And every ounce of Hate in you.

No One In The World (lyrics)
Come down - your tea is on the table Nothing seems to matter anymore And if you're good we'll go out on Sunday Spend the whole day thinking of you Take you sailing across the water To a faraway place Remember when life was lovely Forever was captured in your smile When we were young and life was hopeful No one threatend our existence We were laughing They couldn't stop us No one in the world
Remember when life was lovely Forever was captured in your smile When we were young and life was hopeful No one threatend our existence We were laughing They couldn't stop us No one in the world

The Poacher - Ronnie Lane (lyrics)
Was fresh and bright and early I went towards the river But nothing still has altered just the seasons ring a change There stood this old timer For all the world's first poacher His mind upon his tackle And these words upon his mind:
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels And mirrors on their bodies Bring them strong and bring them bigger Than a newborn child
Well I've no use for riches And I've no use for power And I've no use for a broken heart I'll let this world go by
There stood this old timer For all the world's first poacher His mind upon his tackle And these words upon his mind:
Bring me fish with eyes of jewels And mirrors on their bodies Bring them strong and bring them bigger Than a newborn child
