News from gigwise.com:

Paul McCartney Starts Work On New Album
With dance producer Youth...

Sir Paul McCartney may have got a Lifetime Achievement Brit Award but he’s not finished yet – he’s working on a new album.

Fresh from his headlining appearance at the Brits on Wednesday and last year’s well received ‘Memory almost Full’, the former Beatle has just started recording material for a new release this year.

His spokesperson says, “Paul started recording last week, but he has been writing for a while. It should be ready by the summer."

And McCartney has chosen a surprising collaborator for the project – he’s working with producer Youth at his studio in Icklesham, East Sussex, who is more noted for his work on more upbeat fare.

Would this be the classical guitar album? You wouldn't think so with the producer he's chosen..


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

Let's hope he's got new energy as a result of putting this Heather mess behind him-- mentally and emotionally, if not monetarily. I think when she sails into the sunset he'll feel like he can fly!

I guess not. Probably working on different projects at the same time.

I want an album full of songs with minor chords, melodies with a range of at least an octave, one or two key pivots/transitions, and at least 1 or 2 driving bass/drum rockers!

I like the album before MAF (2nd time in a row I can't remember its name) a lot. Even that Brazilian sounding song. It was kind of Beatley.




I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

I just hope he doesn't change just to get better record sales. I don't think the world will ever be ready for Macca to "break it down"

Let's hope he continues with the great material he's delivering since Flaming Pie.
Is the record deal he signed with HearMusic a 2-record deal? Because that was Joni Mitchell's case but I don't remember Paul's.
Maybe Starbucks is pushing him to record a new album very quickly to capitalize after the huge hit of Memory Almost Full, his first US-Platinum studio album in 24 years!  


I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.

I don't think Starbucks have that kind of clout.

With Youth it could be anything. He collaborated with McCartney on 'The Fireman' albums, and also the 'Liverpool Sound Collage'. But then he's also produced Depeche Mode, The Verve, and Crowded House. I predict a mixed bag.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I like his old style, not all of this rock-ish sounding kind stuff.

I love Paul, but I feel like he's getting a bit washed-up.  If you know what I mean.  The only song I really liked on Memory Almost Full was "Mr. Bellamy".


I'm doing the best that I can...

How was Paul getting washed up with Memory in your opinion?
