New

Here's the "New" song from Paul...

Meh, this one doesn't grab me but I still preordered it. I wonder if he used the touring band for this album. Not much info available yet.

Bit of a light weight pop song, but I don't mind that, it's a nice and catchy song. Hints of "Penny Lane", but it also reminds me of "See your sunshine" from MAF, in fact it wouldn't been out of place on that album. A typical Macca song with a nice catchy melody.

Paul said in an interview that the song isn't typical for the whole album, which the prevous lead of singles weren't either.

Let's hope that's true... I don't dig the song one bit.

I've heard it a few times now. I do like it. Nice tune. It's pretty catchy.

I kinda like it. I think its catchy

Catchy but kind of soft.... Still love ya Paul!

Weak song, would fit of any of his albums from last 20 years. Doesn't make me want to rush and buy the album.

Here's an acoustic version, backstage in Regina, Canada...

I like it acoustically.

Talking about the album, Paul 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.”

Paul worked on the album with producers Paul Epworth, Mark Ronson, Ethan Johns and Giles Martin.

Commenting on the process, Paul 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.

I like "New" and thank you for posting this! The song is upbeat and catchy. I do prefer the acoustic version.
