think we are starting to see and hear that light at the end of the tunnel
No, he’s singing “come on to you.”
I agree, it's "come on to you"!

Good to see the promotional machinery getting into gear. My money is on a mid-October release date, 5 years after the release of New.

Could be far sooner. When he tweeted out words that were preceded with “New” his single dropped the next day. The album followed less than two months later. On that time frame, single today or tomorrow with an album in August.

I doubt the album would come out in August when a lot of folk are on their holidays. The summer months are generally avoided by most major artists where new albums are concerned. I can't think of a single album by Paul / Wings / Beatles that was released in August. July isn't a very good time either for similar reasons. The very earliest would be September, perhaps to create some distance between the new album and the Beatles 50th anniversary White album release in November but personally I would still go with October. It would be nice to be proved wrong though and have a release in the coming couple of months.

I don’t doubt it, but it seems to make little sense to ramp up promotion now for an album 4 months away.

more "Light at the End of the Tunnel" clues...

I agree that it's highly unlikely that a new album from Paul would be released in July or August, and also that he would start promoting something now for September or October. That's why I think the album will be out within a matter of days, or a couple of weeks at the most?
-
This is just a feeling I get, have no sources to back this up, but think an announcement will be made next week on his birthday, June 18, that the album will be released on Labor Day weekend... with his tour beginning the week after that.
It's possible he'll want to tour in places he hasn't been to in a while... I'm thinking UK and Europe and then some spots in the US he wasn't able to be at on the One on One tour... not sure about NYC area, he hit all the major stadiums there last year, but he is promoting his new album, so it's anyone's guess... seems like he would.
Maybe he'll make a few stops in the far east and australia too... he missed Adelaide on the tour last year. And no doubt he'll play some gigs in South America.

Saw a web report where it was said that the new album would drop on Friday??????
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he just surprises us and drops it this Friday
-
This newscaster casually mentions that it drops on Friday (but still calling the song “If You Come Home To Me” when the context/other lyrics of the song clearly make it “Come On!”)

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd much rather the album was released properly, preceded by a lead single and subsequently a proper physical release on CD and vinyl. I’ve never been keen on the concept of releasing albums ‘out of the blue’. I love the anticipation of looking forward to a new release, as opposed to everything coming out at once.
Assuming it is being released normally, I would guess the album might be released sometime in September. If I remember correctly, the lead single from New was released towards the end of August, and the album eventually came out in mid-October. As the publicity machine has already started moving for the next album, I imagine it won’t be too long before we get to hear a new single, hence my guess of September.
Looking forward to it, in any case!

Agree but he did actually do that in 1989 tour when he opened with "Figure Of Eight".

Maybe August would be good release time, lot less competition from other artists - lol

New blurry photo on his social media sites. This one does say McCartney in a handwritten note..
For the life of me I can't figure out how to upload the photo from my phone. Feeling pretty defeated right now lol
