Paul McCartney has announced that he will be releasing a new album, Egypt Stations, on September 7 via Capitol Records. As rumored on social media, the album will be produced by Greg Kurstin, who has worked with artists including Adele, Beck, Sia and Foo Fighters.
Of the album title, McCartney said in a statement, “I liked the words ‘Egypt Station.’ It reminded me of the ‘album’ albums we used to make… ‘Egypt Station’ starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from.”
“I Don’t Know” and “Come On To Me” are the first two singles from the 14-track album. Other songs that have yet to be released include “Happy With You,” “People Want Peace,” and “Despite Repeated Warnings.”
