Paul McCartney: Listen to Beatles Member's Full Song With Bloody Beetroots
Italian "dance-punk" emcee Bloody Beetroots has released the full version of the song he teased earlier in the week, which features Paul McCartney on vocals.
"Out of Sight" opens and closes with strumming before waves of rolling bass and a pummeling drum beat kick in. McCartney sings a ballad of heartbreak in a soulful wail and plays piano, as he would in any of his famous acts. The difference of course is the club vibe provided by Beetroots, aka Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo. A chorus of children back up McCartney's vocals with a "na-naaaaa-na" just for good measure.
Beetroots is pretty pumped to have worked with McCartney, based on his Facebook post from Friday morning.
"This is an important and special moment for me... It's one of the most significant landmarks in my career and now i give it to you, to listen and share," he wrote.
Martin "Youth" Glover, formerly the bassist of English post-punk band Killing Joke, works as an additional producer on "Out of Sight." It's not the first time that McCartney and Youth have teamed up. McCartney has made several jumps into the electronic music scene before and many of those attempts have been while working with Youth (McCartney normally works under the alias of "The Fireman).
Bloody Beetroots is reportedly working on a new album to be released later in 2013, and "Out of Sight" is the only track that's been made available so far. The song is streaming at RollingStone.com, and will become available for download on iTunes on June 18. McCartney is currently touring with his band The Wings, and will be a headliner at this weekend's Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN.
