Paul McCartney recruited some modern musicians to remix and add their vibe to his latest album McCartney III. The results were a mixed bag. In some cases, they understood the soul of the song and really brought out the best parts of the song. Others were almost hits but didn’t land as well. It was interesting to compare this project with the original.
Overall, the album was an interesting exercise and came out remarkably cohesive. He chose an interesting mix of up and coming and well established artists with whom to work. and, it yielded interesting results. In case he ever reads this, I would love to see him work with Kanye West and Rihanna again.
