Paul McCartney has been talking about his forthcoming new album, 'Memory Almost Full', and says it very much draws on his past. The former Beatle said in a statement: "In places it's a very personal record and a lot of it is retrospective, drawing from memory, like memories from being a kid, from Liverpool and from summers gone. The album is evocative, emotional, rocking, but I can't really sum it up in one sentence".
Calling a medley of five songs on the album "purposely retrospective", he added: "I thought this might be because I'm at this point in my life, but then I think about the times I was writing with John [Lennon] and a lot of that was also looking back."
The new record, McCartney's twenty-first solo LP, is out in June. It's to be released, as previously reported, via Starbucks' new music venture, Hear Music.
