Paul Collaborating with Kanye West
-
Yuck! Autotuned all to hell! And Paul doesn't even sing?

I agree, not worth it for McCartney fans if he is just playing piano.
-
As I'd predicted, the track is a worldwide hit: #1 in Brazil -- #1 in Denmark -- Top 5 in Australia and Finland. #3 in the U.S. #5 in the UK.

Finally heard the whole song on Kanye's website. It's okay I guess, but wish there was no autotuning and that Paul's harmony was more up front. What is it that Kanye is singing near the end? "Tell" who?

OT but how about a Bob Dylan collaboration? No brainer imho.
Would be nice to see the two write a song together but Dylan's voice is just bloody awful at this stage of his life so it would probably make me cringe. Did you hear Dylan on "The Art Of McCartney", sounded like a old toad croaking.

Kanye is singing "Tell Nori about me" (Nori is Kanye's daughters nickname)..the song is from the perspective of Kanye's late mother passing a message to Kanye to give to his daughter. I'm a huge a Kanye fan that grew up on The Beatles thanks to my dad, so it's so cool to see a collaboration like this. There's more to come! Ty dolla $ign is actually doing background vocals on this and he just said in an interview with billboard that a video was just shot with Kanye, Paul and Rihana.. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6429372/ty-dolla-recording-only-one-kanye-west-rihanna-paul-mccartney

Thanks for the info! So Paul is not even singing background vocals? Just playing the organ?

At the beginning of this thread it was rumored that the new song would be called PISS ON MY GRAVE. Wonder if this will be next.

Paul does do some of the background vocals.

I was a doubter and now a believer. It's a good collaboration. Well done, Paul and Kanye.

Yes, it turned out to be a joke.

I imagine that to many of Kanye's fans, Paul is unknown. Just as I'm sure it's the other way around. I don't really know anything about Kanye West, except he married Kim K. and he seems full of himself.

About five years ago I was talking to an eight year old girl (from England!) who asked "Who's Paul McCartney?" when his name came up. she was serious.

Eight years old, huh?... That's almost forgivable. Nothing some good old Clockwork Orange-style electrode treatment can't remedy.

I'm not a fan of this. I don't like most current pop music, and this is no exception. The auto tune is ridiculous to me. Sorry. Nice keyboard sound, though. At least I can say that.
-
While I like this song, I actually like "Hope For The Future" a bit better than this one. While Paul's keyboard part is good, it goes on way too long by itself at the end. Maybe a couple more lines of gentle singing from Kanye toward the end would have fleshed it out?
