New Paul McCartney album "Egypt Station" coming September 7, 2018*

'Mande meu amor para a plateia de Salvador', diz Paul McCartney » Petrolandenses

This interview is in Portuguese, too many questions to manually translate now. The main purpose is to promote the upcoming concert in Salvador (October 20, first time in that city), but he was asked about the 1990 concerts in Rio, the 50th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper, his memories of growing up in post-war Liverpool, the song "FourFiveSeconds", the 2014 concert at Candlestick Park, his current relationship with Ringo, how he feels about doing such a long concert at 75 years old, his knowledge of Brazilian music, the possibility of visiting Salvador as a tourist, and the most interesting question, about his upcoming album:

"Você já está preparando mais um álbum solo? O que seus fãs podem esperar dele?

Estou indo fazer um show no Barclays Center (no Brooklyn, em Nova York), hoje à tarde, mas, ainda assim, entre um show e outro, eu vou fazendo o novo disco. E é interessante porque há uma faixa especial para o Brasil, mas é tudo que posso te dizer agora. E acho que vocês vão gostar disso".

"Are you preparing another solo album already? What can your fans expect from it?

I'm going to do a concert at Barclays Center (in Brooklyn, New York) this afternoon, but still, between shows, I'm preparing the new album. And it's interesting because there's a new track for Brazil, but that's all I can tell you now. And I think you are all going to like it".

Well, if he's willing to confirm it, perhaps he will actually do that song live next month in Brazil?

 

A phone interview to promote the October 17 concert in Belo Horizonte:

Em entrevista ao EM, Paul McCartey fala sobre a turnê que chega a BH em 17 de outeubro

Paul mentions that he has already recorded a good number of songs, but he doesn't know which ones will be on the album, as he's still in the middle of the project.

 

....Well, at least it's coming.

 

If Paul only called me up and let me hear his new songs I would help him to decide which one he should put on the album. Using simple criterias that would be a piece of cake. My criterias are these

No songs about the Beatles days
No duets with frogs
No songs about animals or the president of the United states
No duets with Yoko Ono or Adele
No efforts to be hip-like doin techno or hip hop
A great bass line is a bonus
A great melody is a must
A re-recording of Bip Bop would defitively be a welcome move
So please Paul Let me help

 

But if the frogs just sung the bass lines in the background, I think that would be okay.

 

"Brazil, dont make it bad
Take a sad song and make it samba .."

 

No not according to my criterias. One frog song is enough for a lifetime. Unless you was not the late great Frogman Henry

This is a simple edit of the two, though I'm not 100% certain it's in this order and not the other way around (@etcetera ?):

Or Big brazil bed

 

I know I have a problem- I literally dreamed last night that after a McCartney show, Giles Martin took me backstage to play some outtakes from a forthcoming White Album anniversary box that would be at least 8 discs,and made me swear not to tell anyone. Since it was only a dream I feel ok sharing my story here.

 

"Bip bop...ribbit...bip bop bip bop bam...ribbit!"

 

or "Bip Bop, Brazil Bop, Bip Bop Brazil Beyyy"

 

Looks like Brazil Bop is on the rise again and back on track after some tough times...

 

Just a quick recap: as we all know, several weeks ago Denny Seiwell mentioned in a radio interview that Paul showed him two songs, one with Ringo and one about Brazil.

Paul mentioned during a couple of interviews earlier this week that the new album is halfway through, a good number of songs have been recorded and he doesn't know yet which ones will be released, but confirmed it will include a special song for Brazil.

According to Denny that song sounds nothing like actual Brazilian music, so obviously the tribute to the country is in the lyrics. Perhaps his memories of recent tours?

Sometime ago Paul mentioned that he had started writing a song while in São Paulo for the November 2014 concerts, so maybe that's the one?

He's doing four concerts in the country next month, so hopefully he will include that song in the setlist, even thought the album will be released next year. After all, he did "Coming Up" live in 1979 (released in 1980), "Driving Rain" live in June 2001 (released a few months later) and "Follow Me" live in 2004 (released in 2005).

If he decides to do that song live over here it will certainly attract a lot of publicity for the upcoming album, and the expectation will surely help with sales figures once it's released. He can even use one of the hypothetical live performances as a promo video to maximise the album's exposure in the local media.

 

So's Christmas!

 

GUYS!!! IVE GOT IT!!!
The clues are in a song from his LAST album....

"If you are true you know the time is right"...

It's SO obvious... we have to be true for the album to be released!

 

I figured it out then!!!:

 

Lol, I hadn't finished the message...

 

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"....

 

The interviewer asked several interesting (and very specific) questions, but after Paul willingly mentioned that song he should have asked about it being included in the setlist next month. It's in Portuguese, but maybe an online translation will work:
'Mande meu amor para a plateia de Salvador', diz Paul McCartney ao CORREIO

 

How about just throw all of the songs in? one can hope.

 

Makes sense to have a song about Brazil. Latin America loves Beatles and Paul. I have a friend from Brazil. We went to watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie with a group of other friends and we both got excited for Paul's scene and all of the promo images of Paul. I'm sure she'll be very pleased to know about a song about Brazil on Paul's upcoming album.

 

I think it's the other way around.. right?
