RELEASED DIGITALLY APRIL 16TH VIA CAPITOL RECORDS
“The songwriting icon revisits that record in III Imagined by collaborating with some of the brightest lights in the current music world, including St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Blood Orange, and Damon Albarn… ‘Find My Way”s groovy mashup with Beck… (Dominic Fike) offering an illuminating look at ‘The Kiss Of Venus,’ firing up the lovelorn lament with a spirited passion.”— AV CLUB
“an impressive list of friends, fans and new pals providing their spin on the songs from the album McCartney recorded entirely by himself in quarantine”— BILLBOARD
“Paul McCartney Remains Cool and Relevant… remains cool as ever and still has his finger on the pulse of today’s music scene.”— INSIDE HOOK
Hailed upon its release last year as “vital and comfortable taking new chances” (ROLLING STONE) and “cheery, resilient, forever looking forward” (THE NEW YORKER), Paul McCartney’s McCartney III is now literally moving into the future in the form of McCartney III Imagined, a remix album featuring an all-star lineup of Beck, Anderson .Paak, Damon Albarn, EOB, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers and more. Paul personally curated the list of collaborators, and the result is a kaleidoscopic reinterpretation – one that serves as an extension of the instantly beloved McCartney III while standing on its own as a brilliant and adventurous milestone in the McCartney discography.
Highlights from McCartney III Imagined include“Slidin’” by Ed O’Brien (EOB) who described the experience as “a moment of light in the darkness of the winter that’s just been,” Beck’s “Find My Way” that saw him “take the song completely somewhere unexpected,” and Dominic Fike’s cover of “The Kiss of Venus” which “switches up the acoustic ballad into a futuristic R&B jam” (BILLBOARD).
You can find McCartney III Imagined on your favorite digital streaming platform. Physical formats feature the exclusive bonus track “Long Tailed Winter Bird (Idris Elba Remix).” Available at Target, Barnes & Noble, Indie record stores, Newbury Comics, and PaulMcCartney.com.
