Are The Beatles teasing the release of their “final” song?
The Beatles may be potentially teasing the release of their “final” song after the band’s social media accounts have shared a cryptic post.Today (October 25), a clip of an orange and white cassette tape with the tape reel winding was posted on the band’s X/Twitter and Instagram accounts as well as the landing page of The Beatles’ official website.The bottom left corner of the tape reads “Type I (Normal) Position” and there appear to be words on the bottom right corner of the tape that are intentionally blurred out. Below the visual is an email subscription box in which fans can use to subscribe to the band’s mailing list for any news and updates.It appears that this may be linked to the long-awaited release of Paul McCartney’s and Ringo Starr’s AI-developed “final” track to feature all four members.https://t.co/WD7FPPbm1P pic.twitter.com/xEXToI76E2— The Beatles (@thebeatles) October 25, 2023Back in June, Sir Paul McCartney said that artificial intelligence had allowed him to create a “final” song by The Beatles — which at the time was set for release later in the year.The legendary singer-songwriter and bassist discussed the prospect during an interview with Radio 4’s Today Programme, and revealed that AI technology allowed him to “extricate” John Lennon’s vocals from an old demo track — meaning he could complete the song.Though it has not been confirmed by Macca, it seems likely that the track will be one developed by John Lennon back in 1978, titled ‘Now And Then’.“[Peter Jackson] was able to extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette,” he said during the Radio 4 interview, discussing how the method used in the Get Back documentary helped him work on ‘Now And Then’.
