John Lennon croons ‘I miss you’ on new Beatles song ‘Now and Then’ — and you’ll feel the same: review

Ringo Starr has responded to “terrible rumours” that John Lennon‘s real voice doesn’t feature on The Beatles’ new single ‘Now and Then’.Earlier this month, Starr and Paul McCartney shared ‘Now And Then’ – the last track from The Beatles to feature all four original members.The track stems from a demo tape recorded by the late Lennon and was completed with the help of AI – which lifted the songwriter’s vocals off the initial recording and allowed the surviving members to work with them, rather than recreating the artist’s voice altogether.Starr previously said that he thought the project was “beautiful” and admitted that working on the single was “like having John Lennon back”.In a recent interview with AARP, Starr took a moment to dispel rumours about the song’s creation. “There were terrible rumours that it’s not John, it’s AI, whatever bullshi t people said,” he said.

Thania Garcia What year is it again? The Beatles have charted a top 10 single on this week’s singles chart with “Now and Then” — otherwise known as “the last Beatles song.” The “new” song, which features all four members, including the late John Lennon and George Harrison, hit No. 7 as the band’s first chart-topper on the Hot 100 in nearly 30 years. Through the use of AI technology, Lennon’s isolated vocals served as the foundation for the single that was eventually completed last year by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and co-producer Giles Martin, with the addition of Harrison’s 1994 guitar tracks.

The Beatles have made music history again with their new single Now and Then.

The Beatles have topped the charts with their “final” track ‘Now And Then’ – six decades after they secured their first Number One.Released earlier this month, the track was billed as the last song from the Fab Four and stemmed from an old John Lennon demo tape – completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr with the help of AI.It also came alongside both a short video documenting their time completing the project and a Peter Jackson-directed music video that included previously unearthed footage of the band.Now it has been confirmed that the long-awaited track has gone on to top the charts – 60 years since the band claimed their first Number One track.This feat means that McCartney and co. now boast the longest period between an artist’s first and last Number One single – with their first being ‘From Me to You’ in May 1963 (60 years and six months ago).

But it’s now expected to climb to Number One when Friday’s (November 10) Official Singles Chart is announced.It could also mean the band’s first chart-topping single in 54 years, with the last being 1969’s ‘The Ballad Of John And Yoko’.The track came to light thanks to a demo tape recorded by late bandmate John Lennon, completed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr along with the help of AI which lifted the songwriter’s vocals off the initial recording.The project was first teased by McCartney back in June when he confirmed that he was working on a new track with the drummer, which would serve as the “final” song of the band’s discography.Starr recently shared that working on the single was “like having John Lennon back”.Jackson’s visual accompaniment also includes archived footage of the Fab Four.
