Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes rehabilitates the once-tedious synth-soul strut of “Deep Down” with his own velvety harmonies and an urgent piano arrangement recalling the Wings classic “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five.” Best of all is Anderson. The most successful remixers here work in service to the song rather than themselves. Vincent amps up the film-noir melodrama of “Women and Wives” by multi-tracking herself into a girl-group chorus line and Khruangbin’s “Pretty Boys” pulverizes its dainty source material into dubby vapor trails. Beck turns “Find My Way” into a song that originally sounded like a Mellow Gold demo into a bongo-slapping Midnite Vultures workout St. In other words, even if you don’t look at the album credits, you’ll probably know exactly who’s behind the boards. This isn’t random stunt casting for clout-with few exceptions, the artists entrusted with remixing or covering these tracks are noted auteurs themselves, turning McCartney III Imagined into a talent summit. On McCartney III Imagined, Sir Paul presents a resequenced, alternate-universe version of the record as overseen by an eclectic cast of alt-rock icons, current indie darlings, and modern pop phenoms that would make for a pretty solid Coachella bill. So in this case, a remix album isn’t simply a matter of extending the record’s shelf life-it’s more about tending to unfinished business. GET VAX’D,” McCartney said.But while McCartney III featured no lack of inspired, off-the-cuff moments, unlike its predecessors, it didn’t really showcase any new musical obsessions or curiosities that allowed us to see its creator in a new light. McCartney was also in the news this week for posting a photo on Tuesday showing him getting a Covid-19 vaccine. McCartney III, his next album, topped the album sales chart and appeared as high as No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his first No. In 2018, McCartney’s album Egypt Station made it to No. McCartney has had a bit of a renaissance over the past few years, starting with the FourFiveSeconds single he collaborated on with Rihanna and Kanye West, which peaked at No. But over much of the next 30 years, McCartney’s chart performance waned, with exceptions like his 1997 album Flaming Pie, which hit No. 1 hit Ebony and Ivory in 1982 and Say Say Say with Michael Jackson in 1983, while his Tug of War solo album reached No. After Wings dissolved in 1981, McCartney collaborated with Stevie Wonder on the No. McCartney mainly found success with the band he formed, Wings, which topped the charts with hits like Band on the Run in 1974, and he released four No. The two would go on to have successful solo careers over the next decade, with Lennon’s cut cruelly short when he was murdered by the gun of a thwarted madman in 1980. As the group’s lead vocalists, McCartney and Lennon’s perfectly twined harmonies gained immense fame. Over the next six years the band had one of the most sustained periods of success in music history, with hit after hit dominating U.S. music scene in early 1964, when the Beatles song I Want to Hold Your Hand-like the bulk of Beatles’ songs, written by and featuring vocals from Paul McCartney and John Lennon-hit No. McCartney, along with the three other lovable mop tops, first burst onto the U.S. McCartney personally curated the album in a “kaleidoscopic reinterpretation” of his earlier work, featuring “an A-List assortment of friends, fans, and brand new acquaintances,” according to the Paul McCartney Official Store website.
