Paul McCartney’s first batch of new material in six years will be released on October 14th (15th in the US). The former Beatle revealed his New album’s track listing today, and you can check it out below. New is executive produced by Giles Martin and has a total running time of 46:11. McCartney also worked with producers Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, and Ethan Johns on the album, which was recorded in several locations: Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Avatar Studios, New York; Abbey Road Studios, London; Air Studios, London; Wolf Tone Studios, London and Hog Hill Mill, East Sussex.
Speaking about New, McCartney seems to have relished the fun he had making it: “It’s funny, when I play people the album they’re surprised it’s me. A lot of the tracks are quite varied and not necessarily in a style you’d recognize as mine. I didn’t want it to all sound the same. I really enjoyed making this album. It’s always great to get a chance to get into the studio with a bunch of new songs and I was lucky to work with some very cool producers. We had a lot of fun.”
On the album’s production process, McCartney also said: “The original idea was to go to a couple of producers whose work I loved, to see who I got on with best – but it turned out I got on with all of them! We made something really different with each producer, so I couldn’t choose and ended up working with all four. We just had a good time in different ways.”
