New is an album by Paul McCartney, released on 14 October 2013. It is his sixteenth studio album and his first since 2007's Memory Almost Full to consist entirely of new compositions. The album was executive produced by Giles Martin with production by Martin, Mark Ronson, Ethan Johns and Paul Epworth. McCartney has stated that the record was inspired by recent events in his life as well as memories of his pre-Beatles history, and that some of the arrangements are unlike his usual rock recordings. Reception to the first single "New" and the album as a whole has been positive. Read more on Last.fm.
