About
<i>McCartney III</i> is obviously not Paul McCartney’s third solo album. (It’s his 18th.) What binds this with its two eponymous forebear, beyond any particular stylistic thread, is its reaction to some sort of major dissolution. <i>McCartney</i> followed The Beatles’ sudden and bitter breakup in 1970, <i>McCartney II</i> came at the end of Wings’ decade-long run in 1980, and the 2020 edition, performed and recorded by himself at his studio near his home in Sussex, England, of course, results from the breakdown in normal everyday life and society. “It was really good to be able to play music, and make up music, and put your thoughts and your fears and your hopes and your love into the music,” McCartney tells Apple Music. “So it kind of saved me, I must say, for about three or four months it took to make it.” .
