Paul McCartney announces new album Egypt Station
Paul McCartney confirms that he’ll release his new studio album Egypt Station in September

Paul McCartney has announced that his new studio album will be released later this year.
The follow-up to 2013’s New is titled Egypt Station and it will launch on September 7 via Capitol Records.
The news comes just hours after the former Beatle released the double A-side single I Don’t Know, Come On To Me.
Speaking about the record, McCartney says: “I liked the words ‘Egypt Station.’ It reminded me of the ‘album’ albums we used to make.
“Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that.
“I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from.”
The album, which also shares its name with one of McCartney’s paintings, was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Sussex, and produced by Greg Kurstin, while Ryan Tedder was behind the desk for a single track.
