For six a long time, the partnership summarized by using the songwriting credit score “Lennon-McCartney” has been pop song’s gold preferred. So there was a few marvel final week while fanatics awoke to a brand-new track from McCartney and Lennon — if now not the identical duo.
James McCartney, the son of Linda McCartney and the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, launched the music, “Primrose Hill,” closing Thursday. He co-wrote it with Sean Ono Lennon, the son of Yoko Ono and the Beatles’ John Lennon.
James, forty six, introduced the single — a dreamy ballad with echoes of the Beatles’ style — on social media the day after its launch. Its B-facet, “Beautiful,” got here out in February.
“With the release of this track it seems like we’re clearly getting the ball rolling and I am so excited to preserve to proportion track with you,” he wrote.
James began releasing his very own music with a 2010 EP titled “Available Light,” which he recorded partly at Abbey Road. His first full album, “Me” from 2013, became produced with the aid of David Kahne, a former document executive who has worked with the Strokes, Linkin Park, Lana Del Rey and yes, Paul McCartney. (The album featured vocals, guitar and drums from his father.) Its observe-up, “The Blackberry Train,” got here out in 2016. James formerly contributed to albums through both of his parents, such as “Flaming Pie” and “Wide Prairie.”
Through a consultant, McCartney and Ono Lennon declined to touch upon the brand new song.
Paul McCartney did tout his son’s clean work on social media, adding: “plenty of love to Sean Ono Lennon.”
Perhaps the maximum poignant response to the music, and to the opportunity and burden of the Beatles legacy, got here from but some other band scion: the drummer Zak Starkey, who’s the son of the drummer Ringo Starr.
One observer had ruefully commented on an Instagram post from an unofficial Paul McCartney fan account, “Sad ya can’t just walk your personal avenue.”
