‘McCartney III Imagined’ Recruits Phoebe Bridgers, Beck, Josh Homme & More

By Johnny Firecloud @@JohnnyFirecloud · On March 11, 2021

An all-star musical lineup has been gathered for McCartney III Imagined, a covers album based on Paul McCartney’s McCartney III album, to be released digitally April 16 on Capitol Records. Contributors include Beck, Josh Homme of QOTSA, Damon Albarn, Blood Orange, Phoebe Bridgers, Josh Homme, Khraungbin, 3D RDN of Massive Attack, Ed O’Brien (EOB), Anderson .Paak, St. Vincent and more. Pre-orders are now available.

Personally curated by Paul, McCartney III Imagined features an jaw-dropping collection of friends, fans and brand new acquaintances, each covering and/or reimagining their favorite McCartney III moments in their own signature styles. 

The first offering from McCartney III Imagined comes from American singer/rapper/songwriter Dominic Fike, whose cover of “The Kiss of Venus” is available digitally, and a brand new video for the track can be seen below:

Originally released December 18, 2020, McCartney III is the third in a trilogy of home-made and self-titled albums that began with Paul’s 1970 solo debut McCartney, and continued in 1980 with McCartney II.  All three albums were written, performed and produced by Paul in varying states of isolation, all showcasing his unique creativity and inspired spontaneity.  Recorded in “Rockdown,” McCartney III topped album charts across the world, scoring Paul his first UK#1 album  in 31 years – increasing his lead as the UK’s most successful chart act of all time.

McCartney III Imagined physical formats are also available for pre-order, with their release following this summer, including exclusive color vinyl editions available at Target, Barnes & Noble, Indie record stores, Newbury Comics, and PaulMcCartney.com. Physical configurations will feature the exclusive bonus track “Long Tailed Winter Bird (Idris Elba Remix).”
