The Beatles releasing ‘final’ album this year — with a little help from AI

reports the BBC.“We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” McCartney, 80, told the outlet. The musician said that in order to use Lennon’s voice, he turned to “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson for help. “He [Jackson] was able to extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette that had John’s voice and a piano,” explained McCartney.

Paul McCartney says artificial intelligence has enabled a “final” Beatles song

Paul McCartney has said that artificial intelligence has allowed him to create a “final” song by The Beatles — which is set for release later this year.The legendary singer-songwriter and bassist discussed the prospect during a new interview with Radio 4’s Today Programme, and revealed that AI technology allowed him to “extricate” John Lennon’s vocals from an old demo track — meaning he could complete the song.While Sir Paul did not explicitly mention which specific track he is now in the process of completing, it seems likely that the track will be one developed by Lennon back in 1978, titled ‘Now And Then’.As reported by BBC, the Beatles bassist had received the demo from Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono in 1994. It was featured on a cassette that Lennon had made shortly before his death in 1980, and was titled ‘For Paul’.The surviving members contemplated releasing the song on their career-spanning ‘Anthology’ series in 1995, although this idea was later scrapped.The ‘Anthology’ series — cleaned up by producer Jeff Lynne — instead featured two other tracks from the cassette, ‘Free As A Bird’ and ‘Real Love’.
