James McCartney (the son of Paul McCartney), has a new song out called “Primrose Hill” – which is currently making waves, because even though it’s been released solely under his name, he co-wrote it with Sean Ono Lennon (the son of John Lennon).
Could this be a first step towards a new Lennon-McCartney partnership, or a second version of The Beatles? Probably not – though I wouldn’t be surprised if they do collaborate again sometime in the future. While I assume their decision to come together on this song was organic, if it was a marketing gimmick, it seems to have worked brilliantly, as the news of their joint-effort is being spread far and wide.
In fact, while I was previously familiar with his name, I can’t say that I knew James McCartney even made his own music prior to this release (as opposed to Sean & Julian Lennon). Then again, after looking over his career to date, it doesn’t appear that he’s necessarily sought the same level of fame as some of his family members.
For anyone who’s curious, Primrose Hill is the name of a public park (and its surrounding district) in London.
Anyway, it’s a pretty solid track. Check it out below, if you haven’t already had a listen:
