Amelia Coburn – ‘One Last Cold Kiss’

On this episode of the Paul Weller Fan Podcast, I’m joined by singer-songwriter Amelia Coburn – a huge talent whose distinctive voice, storytelling flair, and genre-blurring style have won her fans far beyond the folk world.

Amelia’s connection to Paul Weller began with her wonderful ukulele cover of Down in the Tube Station at Midnight, which eventually caught Paul’s ear via Shindig! magazine’s John Mills. This story leads to a beautiful collaboration on Paul Weller’s new album Find El Dorado, where Amelia’s vocals feature on the Christy Moore song ‘One Last Cold Kiss’.

We talk about her musical upbringing, the influence of The Jam, the decade-long journey to her debut album Between the Moon and the Milkman, and the stories behind songs like ‘Dublin Serenade’, ‘Nodding Dog’, and ‘Sandra’.

Amelia also shares how it feels to be championed by one of her heroes, her hopes for future collaborations, and exciting plans for album number two.
