Source: The Beatles to Release New Album Featuring John Lennon and George Harrison – Los Angeles Press Daily (lapressdaily.com)

 

The Beatles, the band that revolutionized music and culture worldwide, are set to continue their storied legacy with the announcement of a groundbreaking project. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have revealed plans to release a new Beatles album in the summer of 2024, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to incorporate the voices and instrumental contributions of the late John Lennon and George Harrison .

“This isn’t just about recapturing the past; it’s about pushing musical boundaries with the bandmates we grew up with,” McCartney stated. “We’ve always been a group to look forward, and this technology is allowing us to do that in a way we never dreamed possible.”

The revolutionary technology in question harnesses advanced digital audio processing and artificial intelligence to recreate the voices and instrumental styles of John Lennon and George Harrison , enabling the production of brand new Beatles content. This cutting-edge approach can analyze existing recordings to synthesize new performances, effectively allowing the band to continue creating as a foursome despite Lennon’s and Harrison’s absence.

Key Points of the Announcement:

  1. Revolutionary Musical Integration: The new album will feature previously unheard compositions, as well as unreleased material provided by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono. The integration of Lennon and Harrison’s vocals and instrumentals will be accomplished through advanced sound engineering and digital harmonizing technologies.
  2. Honoring the Legacy: This ambitious endeavor is a tribute to the everlasting bond of The Beatles and a celebration of their collective genius. It ensures that Lennon and Harrison’s spirit continues to resonate within new Beatles compositions.
  3. Future-Forward Beatles: This project is a testament to The Beatles‘ perpetual innovation. McCartney and Starr’s commitment to embracing the future of music technology while preserving the soul of their original work is the driving force behind this album.

“The Beatles have always been about breaking the mold,” said Ringo Starr . “With this new album, we’re bringing our brothers John and George into the future with us. It’s something we think they would have loved to be a part of.”

The use of this technology promises to deliver a seamless auditory experience, blurring the lines between past and present. It allows the ‘Fab Four’ to continue their musical journey, enchanting a new generation while providing long-time fans with an authentic new chapter in The Beatles’ illustrious musical saga. The technology not only preserves the distinct essence of the band but also offers limitless potential to explore new musical territories with the full spirit of the original lineup intact.

Fans can anticipate a first single release in the spring of 2024, with additional details to follow. Keep up to date the the website Apple Corps Ltd. and on social media for the latest information and announcements.

I CALL FAKE!

If such an announcement of a 13th Beatles Album released 54 years after the last one was true, it would be covered by Dozens of reputable sources right away and Sir Paul or Ringo or the Official Beatles Site would have a say.

Agreed. I can imagine an album rescuing John and George’s contributions to unfinished songs from the Get Back sessions, but they would not use AI to produce new vocals.

“LA Press Daily” seems to be a “humourous” fake-news site, judging from the headlines on their home page

Overlooking all the words and quotes etc, who the hell are the four people at the top of the article?

Aside from that, the article is clearly bollocks and best ignored.

A large number of those quotes from Ringo and Paul are actually quotes they gave last year about ‘Now And Then ‘. They had nothing to do with a possible new album.

This story is fake.
