Fresh sound ... New is Paul´s first self-penned pop album in six years
Paul´s latest album, titled New, is shaping up to be one of the best releases of the year. Bizarre has had a secret early listen to a handful of the songs from the record, due for release on October 14.
On Save Us, Adele’s right-hand man Paul Epworth has worked his magic to make Macca sound like The Strokes.
The new-wave track is a proper rock song with a fast-paced vocal from Paul.It’s unmistakably Macca but there’s also a bit of Epworth’s Adele collaboration Rolling In The Deep, and his work with bands like The Rakes,The Futureheads and Bloc Party in there.Save Us is the kind of song that should be played by both Radio 1 and Radio 2 and make a decent dent in the charts.
Queenie Eye is also an Epworth production but it makes more nods to Sir Paul’s past than Save Us. Fans will hear bits of Band On The Run, Lady Madonna and Sgt Pepper in the mix.
Everybody Out There is another standout from New. It is powered by acoustic guitar and has a middle section with a singalong crowd chant. It will sound brilliant live.
The album also has a couple of stripped-down songs that are collaborations with Kings of Leon producer Ethan Johns, and other tracks made with Mark Ronson.
From what we’ve heard so far, Paul’s decision to work with great young producers on his first original pop album in six years has paid off.
