Yesterday we shared Paul McCartney's new album, fittingly called, New. The lyric video for the single of the same name has racked up over 400K views since being released on YouTube earlier this fall. These lyrics come after nearly six years of new-material silence: "All my life/I never knew/What I could be/What I could do/Then we were new..."
McCartney hasn't stayed out of the spotlight in terms of touring and keeping up with big names in entertainment. He'll harness this star power in his next music video for the single "Queenie Eye." Among the stars in the mix, ex-lovers Johnny Depp and Kate Moss, according to the Daily Record. This news came as a surprise to the media, given her expression of dismay over the breakup to Vanity Fair. Perhaps it was easier to jump into a professional setting with Depp since the romance was extinguished in the 1990s. Moss herself is now married to The Kills guitarist, Jamie Hince.
Why this actor and model? "They are friends of mine and Stella's. I am very lucky they agreed to do it," McCartney told Daily Record, referring to his daughter and fashion designer, Stella McCartney. This is not the first time Moss will be featured in a music video. She has appeared in videos for Johnny Cash, The White Stripes, Elton John, Primal Scream and Marriane Faithful (directed by Roman Coppola). Perhaps one of the more unknown videos was part of a project "Editing Kate" on SHOWStudio.com. Moss posed in the headlights of a car to "Tomorrow Night We'll Go Anywhere," a song by Los Angeles singer and multi-instrumentalist, Evan Voytas.
Moss can now add McCartney to her track record with an eclectic group of musicians. Filming took place at Abbey Road Studios (ever heard of it?). Other names in the video include British producer, pianist and singer Gary Barlow. Plus, American actress Meryl Streep. An audience joined on set as well. Looks like this video will have a little bit of everything.
McCartney has several tour dates in Japan this November. We'll be watching to see when his music video hits the web. Who will you be looking out for in it?
