McCartney did not mention the name of the song, but it is likely that it is “Now and Zen”, which was recorded experimentally in 1978.
Former member of the famous “Beatles” group, Paul McCartney, said that a last song for the band, with the voice of the late member John Lennon, will be released this year thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
McCartney did not mention the song’s name during an interview with BBC Radio 4 broadcast on Tuesday, but said “technology was used on initial work by John and we’ve completed it”.
The 80-year-old singer-songwriter added: “So when we came in to make what would be the last Beatles recording…we were able to take John’s voice and refine it through this AI, so we might then mix the recording as one would normally do, and we’re done.” just yet”. Pointing out that “the song will be released this year.”
The BBC suggested that the song was “Now and Zen” (Now and Later), which Lennon recorded experimentally in 1978, two years before his death.
McCartney said director Peter Jackson used the technology in the 2021 documentary series, “The Beatles: Get Back,” which shows footage of the then-Fantastic Four while preparing for their 1970 album.
McCartney explained that director Jackson “was able to extract John’s voice from a small tape of the cassette,” and added: “There was John’s voice and a piano, and he was able to separate them using artificial intelligence.”
It should be noted that the use of artificial intelligence in music has raised feelings of excitement and fear of what technology can achieve in this field, and in arts and literature in general. Commenting on this matter, McCartney said: “It is a very interesting thing … It is something that we are all dealing with at the present time.”
“There’s a good side to it and then a scary side to it, we’ll just have to see where that leads.”
