Paul McCartney Shares “Slidin’ (EOB Remix),” from ‘McCartney III Imagined’ Set Out 4/16

Sir Paul McCartney and his team have been busy previewing McCartney III Imagined, the upcoming star-studded revisiting of Macca’s excellent late-2020 solo effort, McCartney III.

The latest song shared ahead of the set, which will hit digital platforms on April 16 ahead of physical editions this summer, is “Slidin’ (EOB Remix),” a collaboration with Radiohead  guitarist Ed O’Brien.

Thank you to @PaulMcCartney for asking me to rework Slidin’ … https://t.co/gGNUNnMLxX

Shared on Wednesday, the fuzzy reimagining can be heard below:

For this project, tracks from McCartney III are either covered or reimagined by a handful of A-list musical acts spanning genres and styles, some of them pre-existing friends/colleagues of Paul McCartney and some new acquaintances.

The result is a kaleidoscopic reinterpretation of an album Rolling Stone accurately tagged “an inspiration to us all”—one that serves as an extension of the instantly beloved McCartney III while standing on its own as brilliant and adventurous milestone in the McCartney discography.
