Well, it looks like Paul McCartney has learned a thing or two from younger artists when it comes to getting the hype up for new albums.
The former Beatle used visual iconography on social media to tease an upcoming project which looks to be his third solo album, McCartney III.
McCartney III is the follow-up album to McCartney II, which was released in 1980. McCartney II followed the singer’s first post-Beatles solo project, McCartney, which was released in 1970.
The first two solo albums were spaced 10 years apart and no other musicians were involved. It’s safe to say that this third album has been a long time coming.
To tease his third solo album, McCartney has been posting photos to social media with triplicates of various items including flowers, mushrooms, and a single rose, captioned with three dice.
Apparently, this isn’t the first clue that McCartney dropped that a third album was on its way—Spotify users noticed that when they played tracks from the previous self-titled albums, a dice with three dots came up.
While McCartney has yet to confirm the news of McCartney III, it’s rumored that the album will be released on December 11.
