The Beatles have a new song coming out thanks to AI
A new song called "Now and Then" will come out on November 3rd. John Lennon wrote it in New York in the late 1970s. Now half a century later, his voice will live on. AI was used to get Lennon's voice from old recordings. TThe software developed for Peter Jackson's documentary film "The Beatles: Get Back" was used to isolate Lennon's vocals from a demo recording, which he left on a cassette for Paul McCartney.
Upon hearing John’s voice again, McCartney said the experience was “quite emotional”.
“There it was, John’s voice, crystal clear. 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, the other surviving member of the Fab Four said: “It was the closest we’ll ever come to having him back in the room, so it was very emotional for all of us. It was like John was there, you know. It’s far out”.
The song will be released as a double-sided single along with ‘Love Me Do’ the Beatle’s debut single. Also being published is a documentary on its making, a day prior.
