During an intimate listening party in Los Angeles, McCartney revealed that a collaboration with his Beatles bandmate will appear on his forthcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/paul-mccartney-every-track-the-boys-of-dungeon-lane\/home-to-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Billboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Titled \u201cHome to Us,\u201d the track, which features Starr on the drums, sees the men \u201ctrading vocals line by line as they sing about growing up,\u201d per the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Ringo and said I worked with this guy [producer] Andrew [Watt]. Ringo came over to Andrew\u2019s studio and played a little bit of drums,\u201d McCartney said. <\/p>\n<p>While Starr was under the impression he\u2019d given Watt enough material to create a song, he was \u201ca bit pissed\u201d to find out that it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>McCartney liked the track, though, and decided to create a song about growing up in Liverpool. <\/p>\n<p>Even though where we lived was a little rough, it was home to us,\u201d McCartney said, thus explaining the titled of the track.<\/p>\n<p>After McCartney recorded his part, he sent the demo to Starr and asked him to sing on it. Starr misunderstood the request and initially only sang on the chorus, leading McCartney to question if his former bandmate even liked the track.<\/p>\n<p>The men wound up talking things through, and Starr came back to the table to record more drums and turn the song into more of a collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRingo\u2019s never done a duet with one of the Beatles,\u201d McCartney noted with a laugh. <\/p>\n<p>The outlet further revealed that the song, \u201cthe most Beatle-esque track on the album,\u201d includes \u201ctempo shifts, key changes and layered vocals with assists from the Pretenders\u2019 Chrissie Hynde and Texas\u2019 Sharleen Spiteri.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What to Know About The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/p>\n<p>The album, which is due out May 29, marks McCartney\u2019s first solo release since 2020. The outlet reported that the album features \u201cbold tempo and stylistic changes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It also showcases McCartney\u2019s instrumental know how, as <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/3-songs-paul-mccartney-wrote-that-changed-other-artists-careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the legendary musician<\/a> opted to play all but the strings and orchestration himself.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the project, McCartney met up with Watt at the suggestion of his manager. The two quickly hit it off, and began working on the LP, which was recorded in both England and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first met Andrew, I thought, \u2018He\u2019s a bit pushy,\u2019\u201d McCartney recalled of the producer, who\u2019s worked with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Post Malone. \u201cAnd he is, but that\u2019s what you want in a producer.
