Original badman, Sir Paul, sweetly swags his sh*t out on this smooth title-track from the man’s first upcoming solo album in five years. My Valentine is due next Feburary and slated to also feature Diana Krall and Stevie Wonder.
Wholly active 69 year old McCartney sounding wonderful as ever on this morose but softly jazzy number, ideal for those who like a spot gin in their camomile and a side-order of medicinal piff. It’s just one of those voices that will always transport you back to childhood if you were played old Beatles records (not so much Wings records) in ya ole man’s Nissan growing up. Made all the more heady with celestial guitar prophet Clapton’s twinkly strums all over this. Real OGs never die, they just collaborate.
