The Style Council – It Didn’t Matter

1. The Style Council – It Didn’t Matter is a sophisticated 1987 single from Paul Weller’s post-Jam project, released on Polydor Records. Blending soul, pop, and a touch of synth-driven sophistication, the track captures the band’s smooth, politically aware sound during their later years. Taken from the album The Cost of Loving, it showcases Weller’s maturing songwriting and the group’s shift toward a more contemporary, soulful direction.

With layered production, heartfelt lyrics, and a polished finish, It Didn’t Matter stands out as one of The Style Council’s most refined tracks—bridging the gap between 80s pop and blue-eyed soul.

Essential for fans of Paul Weller, soul-influenced pop, and collectors of 80s British vinyl.
