McCartney’s NEW album to get exclusive first play in pubs across the UK this Sunday (October 13th) ahead of its official release
Pubs across the country will get the first exclusive play of Paul’s NEW album this coming Sunday (Sunday 13th October). This is the day before the albums official release date of Monday 14th October. Already described as McCartney’s ‘best album in decades’, NEW is Paul’s first studio album of original material in six years.
Organised by Paul’s record label, the idea is for people to enjoy their Sunday lunches whilst hearing the album in its entirety for the first time in the UK. Special collectable Paul McCartney beer mats have also been created for the occasion. Over 208 pubs in the UK have signed up to take part.
Talking about the album, Paul said: “It’s funny, when I play people the album they’re surprised it’s me. A lot of the tracks are quite varied and not necessarily in a style you’d recognise as mine. I didn’t want it to all sound the same. I really enjoyed making this album. It’s always great to get a chance to get into the studio with a bunch of new songs and I was lucky to work with some very cool producers. We had a lot of fun.”
Paul worked on the album with producers Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, Ethan Johns and Giles Martin.
Commenting on the process, Paul said: “The original idea was to go to a couple of producers whose work I loved, to see who I got on with best – but it turned out I got on with all of them! We made something really different with each producer, so I couldn’t choose and ended up working with all four. We just had a good time in different ways.“
The album was recorded at Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Avatar Studios, New York; Abbey Road Studios, London; Air Studios, London; Wolf Tone Studios, London and Hog Hill Mill, East Sussex.
