McCartney Paul: McCartney III (CD + Songbook)

Paul McCartney will release his new album McCartney III on December 18th

This year will be 50 years since the British singer, songwriter and producer Paul McCartney released his first solo album. The power, popularity and energy of music that the legendary artist gained during that time continued to grow over the years of his career. Paul McCartney, known for his fantastic musical skills, he is now releasing an unplanned album that he has written, produced and recorded. “It was about making music for yourself rather than making music that has to do its job. So I only did things that I liked. I had no idea it would end up as an album, “ says the music giant and invites fans to listen to the album McCartney III , which will be released on December 18.

The album follows on from McCartney' s 1970 album and its sequel McCartney II from 1980. However, Paul McCartney did not plan to release this album in 2020, but in isolation - “Rockdown“ came the time and desire to create, and so the eclectic collection of spontaneous songs becomes McCartney III. An album that marks the beginning of a new decade, in the tradition of McCartney in the 70' s and McCartney II. 80s.

The album was recorded this year in Sussex and is based mostly on live vocal recordings, to which he then added other instruments. The whole process to the album began when Paul returned to an unreleased song from the early 1990s, When Winter Comes (co-produced by George Martin). Paul created a new passage for the song, which gave rise to the opener for the album Long Tailed Winter Bird - while When Winter Comes, containing the new intro Winter Bird, became the grand finale of the new album.

“I lived a closed life on a farm with my family and went to the studio every day. I had to work on some movie music, and that turned into an opening track. When it was done, I thought, what am I going to do next? I had some things I had been working on over the years, but sometimes time ran out and remained unfinished, so I started thinking about what I had. Every day I started recording with the instrument I wrote the song on, and then I gradually layered it all out, it was a lot of fun. It was about making music for yourself rather than making music that has to do its job. So I only did things that I liked. I had no idea it would end up as an album, “ says Paul McCartney and invites fans to listen to his new album album.
