If it took
decades before 1970's McCartney and 1980's McCartney II were fully appreciated
- the former pre-echoing the handmade lo-fi of the '90s; the latter yielding
hipster dancefloor cuts in the 00s - then the process has been accelerated
after last year's McCartney III. The remit here is an open one: some artists,
such as Beck and Khruangbin with their art-funk overhauls of Find My Way and
Pretty Boys respectively, build traditional, if inventive remixes around
Macca's vocals.
Others go further and basically cover the songs - Phoebe
Bridgers' atmospheric take on Seize The Day or Dominic Fike's avant-pop
approach to The Kiss Of Venus, both underline the melodic strengths of the
originals.
Best, perhaps, is Anderson.Paak's warping of the pastoral folk of
When Winter Comes into warm, Stevie Wonder-ish synthy soul.
