More Paul McCartney album details revealed

by Mary McCartney for MPL

New, Paul McCartney's first album of fresh solo material in six years is due Oct. 15 in the U.S.  

Talking about the album, McCartney said: 

"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 recognise 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."

McCartney worked on the album with various renowned producers (see below). 

Commenting on the process, he 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."

The album was recorded at 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.
