He has written countless hit singles, orchestral scores, released
electronica albums, film theme songs and changed the world with his
music. Listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Most
Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time, Paul McCartney has
now added another first to his impressive list. No stranger to being
involved with hotly anticipated releases, Paul has now entered a new
genre all together.
This week saw the release of the most expensive and highly anticipated video game of all time – Destiny. Ten years in the making Destiny
is the biggest entertainment property of 2014. Earlier this week fans
were queuing through the night to get their first glimpse. Stores across
the world opened early in order to meet the demand. Made by Bungie and
Activision, the team behind Halo and Call of Duty, Destiny
is expected to change the gaming industry. The hype surrounding this
release demonstrates how the gaming industry has overtaken Hollywood.
The continuing success of this market and the scale of Destiny
is further underlined by the fact Paul McCartney has written the game’s
end title theme song 'Hope', as well as working on the soundtrack.
Throughout his career Paul has always looked at ways to reach new
audiences with his music and has never been afraid to try out new ideas
or platforms. This is the first time that Paul has ever written for a
computer game and he has likely started yet another trend for the world
of popular music. Paul teased fans with a tweet in 2012 confirming that
he was working on a project with Bungie but this week following the
games release the wait was over for fans when 'Hope' started to appear
on the Internet.
Produced by Giles Martin, 'Hope' is as epic as the game itself.
Following the positive response and reaction to the leaked track it is
confirmed today that the track will get an official release later in the
year with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.
