The stars are out in 'McCartney III'
Paul McCartney’s 18th solo album, “McCartney III” was released in December 2020 to a world in isolation because of a global pandemic.
As we’ve come to expect from the legendary artist during a nearly six-decades-long career, his effort produced relevant, well-crafted, positive Pop playfulness that, at times, recalled his 1960s experimental indulgences.
With one of the most famous musical catalogs in modern music history, he’s no stranger to having his songs covered.
This time, he hand-picked a star-studded cast of contributors to offer their takes for “McCartney III Imagined,” out for listening since April 16. Altogether, these contemporary contributions nurture the originals, creating a vibrant garden from Macca’s framework.
“Find My Way” by McCartney and Beck initiates the style flip. As the credits of this and following songs suggest, the featured artists take aspects of the original, adding their own flair. US rocker Beck’s version adds a heavily funky, warm and electronic tinge to the already heavily textured track about offering someone emotional support in the COVID-19 era.
