James McCartney Announces First Single Since 2016, Beautiful

JAKARTA - James McCartney, son of Paul McCartney, announced his return to the world of music in the form of a new single 'Beautiful'.

The news was confirmed on James' official social media page on February 12 yesterday in which it was recorded that the single would be released on February 23.

This marks its first new release in eight years.

James grew by contributing to recording sessions for his father's album 'Flaming Pie' in 1997 and 'Driving Rain' in 2001, as well as his mother Linda McCartney's 1998 release, 'Wide Prairie'.

The multi-instrumentalist began releasing his solo material in 2010 with a series of EPs (mini albums), and finally released his debut studio album 'Me' in 2013.

This was followed by 'The Blackberry Train' in 2016. However, James has been inactive with new releases since then.

Apart from his own career, James has been an internet sensation for years due to a number of well-known clips. Ahead of one of his performances at rari ITV, James played a clip of his father in which his father sent him a nasty positive message: "Hey Jamesy, do it guys, I know you can," Paul said.
