Album Notes & Community Reviews

Working with Hugh Padgham, the renowned producer behind the era's biggest drum-machine sounds, McCartney delivered one of his most experimental, synthesizer-heavy albums. The record explores smooth, slightly abstract new wave aesthetics, heavily relying on digital sequencing and contemporary studio technology to distance itself from his traditional pop-rock format.
