Paul McCartney's 18th solo album. His first new album in five and a half years since "McCartney III" (2020). It includes songs that offer a glimpse into precious memories he has never shared before, along with newly written love songs. Looking back on the formative years that shaped Paul's life and laid the foundations of modern popular culture, this is the most introspective album of his career, telling his own story. He writes more openly than ever before about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, his parents' resilience, and his adventures with George Harrison and John Lennon long before Beatlemania gripped the world. A musically diverse album, it incorporates a variety of instruments and styles that showcase the full breadth of his musicality: rock in the style of Wings, harmonies in the style of The Beatles, McCartney-style grooves, understated and intimate expression, melody-led storytelling, and character-driven songs. The common thread running through it all is Paul. 77-inch cardboard sleeve jacket. [Included bonuses] two printed cards (102 x 152mm). Commentary, lyrics, and a Japanese translation included. Japan-original edition. SHM-CD format. *Please note that this product is delivered on or after the release date.
