We will have the chance to listen to a new and latest song by The Beatles thanks to the use of an artificial intelligence tool. As explained by Paul McCartney in Today (a BBC Radio 4 program), the demo they had access to had John Lennon’s voice next to a piano and thanks to technology they managed to separate both sounds to complete the song.
Although the legendary artist did not say the name of the song that will be released in the coming months, it transcended What could it be Now and Then, a production of both that was written by John Lennon in 1978. “We just finished it and we will release it this year,” McCartney announced.
In 1994 Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, gave McCartney a cassette with several songs that had been recorded by Lennon before his death in 1980.
Produced and cleaned up by producer Jeff Lynne, two of them (Free As a Bird y Real Love) were completed and released in 1995 and 1996, marking the Beatles’ first “new” material in 25 years.
However, Now and Then could not be used at that time because the available technology did not allow them to obtain quality sound.
Although it is not confirmed that this is indeed the song to which it refers McCartney, the artist explained that his work with Peter Jackson for the documentary Get Back it was the turning point that allowed him to finish this last song.
“They tell the machine: ‘That’s the voice. This is a guitar. Turn the volume down a bit,'” said the artist. and added: “We have John’s voice in its purest form, and we have been able to mix the recording so that it becomes the last of The Beatles.”
