In 2023, music legend Paul McCartney sent shockwaves through the internet when he revealed he was working on a new song from The Beatles. However, what caught the attention of fans was McCartney's mention of using artificial intelligence in the creative process. Initial concerns were quickly addressed when it became clear how McCartney was utilizing this technology. Months later, after the release of the single titled 'Now and Then,' the track's producer shed light on McCartney's respectful approach during the delicate recording process.
Giles Martin, the producer behind 'Now and Then,' expressed his excitement about working with Paul McCartney. Martin praised McCartney for his utmost respect toward his fellow band members throughout the production of the song. Seeking to ensure that every member of The Beatles was represented, McCartney even went to great lengths to include their contributions. When discussing George Harrison's role on the track, Martin detailed how McCartney specifically wanted to isolate and understand the rhythm played by Harrison years ago.
