Now and Then
quote:
The Beatles’ final song is now streaming thanks to AI

Machine learning helped Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr turn an old John Lennon demo into what’s likely the band’s last collaborative effort.

It sounds very John Lennon early 70's.

I prefer Paul's earlier lyrical songs, a few come to mind:
Here There & Everywhere
Blackbird
Step Inside Love
Yesterday

Interesting. I want to read more about the process of separating Lennox’s vocals from the piano audio, and what else was added that’s new…

Separate from that, after one listen, I thought the song itself was decidedly meh… WhoMe

ROTFLMAO

That’s quite a list! I didn’t read the whole thing< but it was fun to poke around in it.

I don’t think I agree with number one, but I’m pretty sure the guy who wrote it doesn’t care! Big Grin

OMG, I used to think that classical reviews could be pompous and overbearing, but pop/rock opinionating proves to be no less annoying. I recall overwrought reviews of punk bands in the Village Voice in the 80s that must have been paid for by the word.
