Paul McCartney promotes his forthcoming album “The Boys of Dungeon Lane” in interviews with actor Paul Mescal. Multiple outlets report that the interview is part of Amazon’s “In Conversation” format and is available to watch on Amazon Live and the Amazon Music app. McCartney’s new record is described as revisiting his Liverpool coming-of-age experience and is set for release this Friday.
The interview also ties into upcoming Beatles-related productions. Mescal is set to portray McCartney in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopics, described by outlets as a four-film series about the band. In coverage from outlets including BBC News, McCartney comments on working with Mescal around playing guitar, saying Mescal knows the material better than he does, and discusses making songs that draw on personal memories.
Another outlet adds that McCartney says the spirit of John Lennon continues to advise him as he writes new music. Across the reports, the focus remains on McCartney’s album and the connection between the interviews and Mescal’s role in the forthcoming Beatles biopics.
