Before releasing their first single, Love Me Do, in 1962, nobody – not even the band themselves – may have foreseen the impression of The Beatles. Sixty years on, the world is being handled to 1 last monitor with Paul, John, George, and Ringo all current, together with somewhat assist from my mates AI.
Paul McCartney first teased Now And Then in the summertime, telling the world that he had recorded one last music by The Beatles with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence. It’s now time for that music to be launched, and Now and Then, the ultimate piece of recorded output that includes the entire Fab Four, shall be out on November 2.

How was ‘Now And Then’ created?
As you’ll hear on the music, Now and Then was sung (and written) by John Lennon in 1978, two years earlier than he was shot and killed outdoors his New York home. Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, gave the recording to Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr in 1994. The band, nonetheless, had been unable to separate Lennon’s vocals and the piano, as he had recorded them concurrently.
Which is the place AI is available in. Peter Jackson, creator of The Beatles documentary Get Back, helped Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr isolate the vocals on the recording through know-how, which is how now we have the ultimate Now and Then monitor.
George Harrison recorded his guitar elements, each electrical and acoustic again in 1995, earlier than he handed away in 2001, with Starr including drum and backing vocals; and McCartney laying down new bass, guitar and piano parts to finish Now And Then in 2022.
Speaking on the creation of Now and Then, Paul McCartney mentioned in a press launch: “There it was, John’s voice, crystal clear…It’s quite emotional. And we all play on it, it’s a genuine Beatles recording. In 2023 to still be working on Beatles music, and about to release a new song the public haven’t heard, I think it’s an exciting thing.”
Ringo Starr added: It was the closest we’ll ever come to having him again within the room, so it was very emotional for all of us… It was like John was there, you recognize. It’s far out.”
Now and Then shall be launched on November 2, with the accompanying documentary on its making dropping a day earlier than.
