From paulmccartney.com:
“You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs” …but we haven’t and never will! From the McCartney classic ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’ to the inimitable ‘Waterfalls’ from McCartney II, we’re keen to hear what love songs Paul has up his sleeve on McCartney III.
Love is the fourth instalment in a series of streaming-only EPs released in the build-up to McCartney III, featuring previously released songs that tie in with the themes of the new album.
