Paul McCartney Releases “New”
Paul McCartney has returned with his first album of all new material in six years, appropriately entitled New. While the title track actually carries Macca’s classic sound, the 71-year old bassist’s latest effort features textures and songs that are both familiar and foreign to his signature style. McCartney worked with four producers – Mark Ronson, Paul Epworth, Giles Martin and Ethan Johns – to create the collection of tunes after trouble picking just one.
“It turned out I got on with all of them!” McCartney shared. “We made something really different with each producer, so I couldn’t choose and ended up working with all four. I ended up falling for them all. We just had a good time in different ways. Ethan was a bit more acoustic-leaning, Mark would be a little more R&B… they each had a different approach but were all great in their own field.”
Fans will recognize the Beatles-esque bounce on tracks like “New” and “On My Way to Work,” while tracks like “Save Us” and “Appreciate” offer more of a modern twist.
New is available now on CD, vinyl and digital formats (iTunes and Amazon MP3). A Deluxe Edition is also available, including two bonus tracks.
