�Paul McCartney invites you on a musical journey to Egypt Station, estimated time of arrival September 7, 2018 by way of Capitol Records. Sharing a title with one of Paul�s own paintings, Egypt Station is the first full album of all-new McCartney music since 2013�s international chart-topping NEW. Preceded by two of its tracks just released as double A-sides--plaintive ballad �I Don�t Know� and raucous stomper �Come On To Me��Egypt Station was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Sussex, and produced (with the exception of one Ryan Tedder track) by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Beck, Foo Fighters).

�Of the forthcoming album�s enigmatic title, Paul says, �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.�

�True to the inspiration behind its title, Egypt Station�s 14 songs combine to convey a unique travelogue vibe. Between the opening and closing instrumentals �Station I� and �Station II,� each song finds Paul capturing a place or moment before transporting the listener seamlessly to the next destination. Stops along the way include an acoustic meditation on present day contentedness (�Happy With You�), a timeless anthem that would fit on virtually any album of any McCartney era (�People Want Peace�), and an epic multi-movement closer clocking in at seven minutes with a song suite structure harkening back to the days of Paul�s previous combos (�Despite Repeated Warnings�). The result is a kaleidoscopic journey through myriad musical locales and eras, yet firmly rooted in the here and now--with Paul�s singular unmistakable melodic and lyrical sensibility serving as a guide.
