This is the new album by legendary British singer-songwriter Paul McCartney and it was recorded at Abbey Road in London as well in Metropolis and Hog Hill Mill and in Los Angeles at Henson, Gold Tooth and Diamond Dust studios. The songs on the album are mostly written by Paul McCartney and 5 he wrote with Andrew Watt an American songwriter and record producer who with Paul produced the album and one of the tracks Home To Us Paul sings with fellow Beatle Ringo Starr which also Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders and Sharlee Spiteri from the British band Texas did the backing vocals on it and also Giles Martin son of Beatles record producer Sir George Martin did the co arrangments on some of the tracks.
