Paul Kelly “Seventy”

Australia’s master storyteller marks a major milestone with an album that solidifies his enduring legacy. After more than six years between his self-written works “Nature” (2018) and “Fever Longing Still” (2024), Paul Kelly demonstrates renewed creative energy by releasing another album just a year later.

This latest record, “Seventy,” carries special meaning: it represents Kelly’s thirtieth studio album, his fiftieth year in the music industry, and coincides with his seventieth birthday. Each of these milestones highlights a lifetime dedicated to music and storytelling.

Throughout five decades, Kelly’s songs have shaped the soundscape of Australian life and culture, earning him an impressive array of honors, including seventeen ARIA Awards for recordings and five APRA Awards for songwriting.

Most recently, he received the 2025 AACTA Award for Outstanding Contribution, presented by film star Russell Crowe, a lifelong admirer of his work.

While last year’s “Fever Longing Still” confirmed that Kelly’s artistic flame was far from fading, “Seventy” feels like a natural culmination of his long and acclaimed career—an album that reflects the full range of his musical evolution rather than merely revisiting the past.

Author’s Summary

Paul Kelly’s “Seventy” celebrates his 70th year, 50 years in music, and 30th album, blending his life’s creative journey into a single reflective milestone.
