Sir Paul McCartney may have got a Lifetime Achievement Brit Award but he’s not finished yet – he’s working on a new album.

Fresh from his headlining appearance at the Brits on Wednesday and last year’s well received ‘Memory almost Full’, the former Beatle has just started recording material for a new release this year.

His spokesperson says, “Paul started recording last week, but he has been writing for a while. It should be ready by the summer."

And McCartney has chosen a surprising collaborator for the project – he’s working with producer Youth at his studio in Icklesham, East Sussex, who is more noted for his work on more upbeat fare.

”If” Paul makes any kind of music that’s paletable, outside of the Beatles, I’ll be happy. I think his ex a ’ho’ and he should look at women his own age, if not older.

Love to see him, Memory Almost Full is brilliant and Chaos And Creation wa top notch as well- love to see a tour

Glad to hear that Paul is moving on and getting back to making music. I hope he can find happiness in his personal life which will inspire his music. My father was famous. My mother was there to go along for the ride and support, encourage and share his life but never tried to outstage him. I hope Paul can search beyond the famous to find the right lady. We are out their.

You’re great Paul! You’re not alone.

promotion tour to promote? (hoping)
~ by txrok 2/26/2008
I think Paul should retire and concentrate on the Beatles catalog and his little girl Beatrice.
~ by Bill H. 2/26/2008
- He’s got plenty of love for his music and his daughter. We love you, Paul!!!

~ by eric compton 2/26/2008
Great!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!! God bless you Paul for all of the wonderful music you have put out over the years!! You keep making them and I’ll never stop listening to them. You’re the best!!!!!!!!
~ by Debbie 2/27/2008
Well, anytime Paul puts out new music, I’ll buy it. Gotta help him pay for the divorce, after all...
~ by Dave 2/27/2008
McCartney was written out years ago. These days he can’t even put out a half decent tune to save his career and he’s still without a recording contract. Another forgetable album no doubt coming up.
~ by 'Orrible 'Arry 2/27/2008
Retire Paul. Let the great things The Beatles did live & breathe on their own. It won’t be duplicated, by anybody...including yourself alone. Although your 1st two solo albums came close.
~ by Dan 2/27/2008
I have always been a Paul Mccartney fan, probably for the last 44 years! I think Paul is very gifted, and Ihope he goes on writing music and performing for many years to come! I live in hope that one day I will see him live, that would be a dream come true!
~ by Penny Owen 2/27/2008
I’m looking forward to the new music, Paul, as you are such an amazing artist. Keep up the wonderful music!
~ by Rosemarie Kellogg 2/28/2008
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul is mt hero and I can’t wait to hear his new album. -’Linda EastmanJr.’
~ by Elizabeth 3/1/2008
I am a life time fan of Paul. I ’ll buy what ever he puts out. He is the greatest songwriter of all time.
~ by Sean 3/2/2008
In the next tour, don’t forget Rio de Janeiro, Brazil !
~ by Luiz Fernando 3/3/2008
Anyone who says Paul McCartney should retire is on crack!! I’m not thrilled about him working with this Youth guy, I don’t like that Fireman stuff. McCartney is so much better when he sticks to rock and roll, not that weird ambient stuff. memory Almost Full is a masterpiece, he needs to do more albums like it.
~ by maccafan 3/5/2008
yeahhhhhhhhhh paul youre the best there is and rock on.
~ by t.j. 4/8/2008
Wow! He nevers get tired, he’s a music machine, I love all his music. Don’t stop. There’s a lot of songs that left positive messages in my life. Thank you Paul. By Memo from Mexico.
