McCartney Vid Debuts on YouTube
The music video for Sir Paul's new single "Dance Tonight" -- starring Natalie Portman and directed by Michel Gondry -- went live on the site this morning.
The clip was shot in London, and tells a mini-story about a deliveryman bringing a sortof magical mandolin to McCartney's house. The song is off of McCartney's upcoming album "Memory Almost Full" -- the 21st of his solo career -- which will be available on June 4th. From the press release:
Paul explained, “I had seen 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' that Michel had directed and had really liked it. The connection with Natalie came from my daughter Stella, who makes non-leather shoes that Natalie buys, so I just thought, "Well, I'll ring her up and just see if she'll do it". So I rang her up and said "Hey I'm Stella's dad!" She had a bit of time off as she was between films so it was great. I mentioned that I wanted to work with Michel Gondry and it turned out that Natalie was a huge fan of his.”
With its community of millions of worldwide users, YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos through a Web experience. The video for ‘Dance Tonight’ will be featured and promoted through the ‘Director Videos’ slots, which sit at the top of the homepage.
I just like the "old" guy, he does it again.
My compliments to Paul.
