Overview
- McCartney will promote the MPL/Capitol release with advance singles and a spot as musical guest on Saturday Night Live’s season finale.
- It is his first solo album since 2020’s “McCartney III,” marking a return to a full-length project under his own name.
- He and producer Andrew Watt spent four years shaping the record with the aim of doing it “different” rather than chasing a vintage sound.
- McCartney said Watt felt “pushy” in a good way, crediting the producer’s enthusiasm with keeping the sessions energized.
- The songs reflect on Liverpool memories and include a duet with Ringo Starr on “Home to Us,” with backing vocals from Chrissie Hynde and Sharleen Spiteri.
