Paul McCartney - Egypt Station

140-gram double LP

"So many records as reflective and evocative as Egypt Station prove to be career codas. Despite occasional misfires this one proves that, at 76, McCartney, socially and sonically, still has plenty to say." — The Independent (U.K.), Sept. 6, 2018

Two days after his 76th birthday, Paul McCartney released two new songs, which he calls a taste of Egypt Station, a new studio album set for release September 7, 2018.

I Don't Know" is a doleful ballad, while "Come On To Me" is fiery, foot-stomping rock song.

The new single's artwork includes vintage travel tickets, passport stickers and illustrations of sand, sky and railroads. And about that album title? It's not that complicated, McCartney writes in a statement. "I liked the words 'Egypt Station.' It reminded me of the 'album' albums we used to make... Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from."
