Paul McCartney's Try at a New Genre of Music


My post is about the famous musician Paul McCartney, a former member of the Beatles. Mccartney is working on his new album and is supposedly being influenced by the artist Usher. His last album, Kisses on the Bottom, incorporated pop and jazz influences but McCartney reportedly wanted to ditch these idea s for a more modern sound. Mark Ronson, his producer, said that he wanted to focus on sound influenced by Usher, funk and moombahton. Moombahton is a newer genre of music that incorporates reggae and Spanish sounding tunes. Ronson, in an interview from Rolling Stone, said that Paul played him the song ‘Climax’ by Usher and told him that he “loved where all of the sonics sit in this”.  McCartney has developed music of all genres so now he wants to try creating music with a high level of energy that is seen in popular music today. Ronson says that he “do[esn’t] know if [our stuff] is revolutionary, but they're brilliant songs”. Elton John is reportedly helping with the production and collaborating with Paul in this album. To any long time Paul McCartney fans, Elton John said that the album is ‘classic John’. There is one song on the album called ‘Hosanna’ that is solely Paul with an acoustic guitar that is allegedly breathtaking. I don’t know about you guys, but I am more than excited for the release of McCartney’s new album
