McCartney dropped a hint about a possible collaboration with Starr on new music. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 4’s Best of Today, he revealed that AI technology was used to isolate John Lennon’s voice from an old demo, possibly for a new Beatles project. McCartney clarified on Twitter that the upcoming material is not artificially created but a result of cleaning up existing recordings over the years. The particular song in question is reportedly the 1978 track “Now and Then,” recorded by Lennon shortly before his tragic passing and given to McCartney.
The Beatles had previously attempted to record “Now and Then” for their Anthology series in 1995, but it was not included due to George Harrison’s reservations about the song. McCartney expressed his admiration for the song’s verse and John Lennon’s vocals but acknowledged the democratic decision-making process within the band.
Overall, this news showcases the ongoing impact and creative endeavors of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as the continued interest in preserving and revitalizing The Beatles’ legacy.
