Paul McCartney – McCartney III Imagined
Paul McCartney had previously announced that he would be releasing a new version of his newest solo album ‘McCartney III’. Sir Paul has just released a new version of “Find My Way” with Beck. This is the second song released from the album as Dominic Fike shared his version of “The Kiss of Venus” earlier on in the day.
Beck said in a statement about his remix:
“I remember hanging out with Paul and his wife Nancy several years ago and Nancy mentioned that she wanted to go out dancing before calling it a night. We ended up at some club in West Hollywood and I remember noticing that Paul and Nancy were TEARING IT UP—really enjoying themselves more than anyone else on the dance floor. Last year when he asked me to remix this track, I remembered that night and wanted to try to recapture that amazing spirit I felt while watching him on the dance floor… sort of my little tribute to Paul “in his groove.” When I then heard the falsetto vocal in Paul’s original track I wanted to lean further into something really loose and funky—I pulled out my Hofner (because of course) and put down a few bass lines… and everything came to life from there. The best part of the entire experience, though, came a week after I’d turned in the remix, when Paul called to tell me he’d been dancing in his kitchen to the track all week.”
The album titled ‘McCartney III Imagined’ is due out April 16 on Capitol Records. Besides contributions from Beck and Dominic Fike the album also features Phoebe Bridgers, Blood Orange, Damon Albarn, Anderson .Paak, Idris Elba, St. Vincent, and Josh Homme.
