Paul McCartney has a lot in the works right now, as he
should, to continue the ongoing legacy of the half-deceased-but-no-less-legendary
Beatles. Even though the Beatles as a band has been dead for over 40 years
already.
Nonetheless, after his 15th solo album, Kisses on the Bottom, was released last year, McCartney has announced a new one was in
the works, one that is more contemporary and edgy. He reportedly has even
recruited famed music producer Mark Ronson to help helm his next project. The
pair met when Ronson DJ’ed McCartney and Nancy Shevell’s 2011 wedding, and
apparently they hit it off. Ronson is best well known for helming Amy Winehouse’s Back in Black album, for which he won the Producer of the Year trophy
at the 2008 Grammy’s, but has also recently worked with the likes of Duran Duran, Rufus Wainwright and The Kaiser Chiefs.
Also in the ex-Beatle’s upcoming works is a collaboration
with Bungie, the mastermind behind the ever popular Halo series. He announced
via Twitter that he will be composing music for a new, yet-to-be-unveiled
Bungie project. And let’s be honest, this doesn’t come as much as a surprise.
McCartney commented earlier this year on his belief that it’s easier to make
money off of video games rather than putting out new albums in our
technologically advanced culture.
“It’s a fascinating market. A new computer game sells so
much better than a new CD these days,” McCartney said. “Young people will hear
my music for the first time in a game.”
Right on, Paul McCartney. Keep the good music flowing or else
we’ll all be doomed.
