NEW is the sixteenth solo studio album by English musician Paul McCartney, released on 11th October 2013 through MPL Communications, Hear Music, and Universal International. The album was his first since 2007's Memory Almost Full to consist entirely of new compositions. NEW was inspired by recent events in McCartney's life as well as memories of his pre-Beatles history. Some of the arrangements are unlike his usual rock recordings, and McCartney specifically sought out younger producers to work with. Paul and his stage band performed in various venues to promote the album, along with promotional events held through social media. It was McCartney's final album released on Hear Music before he returned to his old label Capitol Records.

At its quietest moments, 2007's Memory Almost Full played like a coda to Paul McCartney's illustrious career. Such measured meditation is largely absent from 2013's NEW, the first collection of original material he's released since 2007. NEW lives up to its title, finding McCartney eager, even anxious, to engage with modern music while simultaneously laying claim to the candied, intricate psychedelia of latter-day Beatles. Shock arrives in the avenues Paul chooses to follow and, here, he's enthusiastically embracing modernism and pop art. He brings in Mark Ronson, Paul Epworth is hired along with Ethan Johns and Giles Martin, each enlisted to give NEW a crisp, clean sheen. There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen but the chef is undoubtedly McCartney, with every song bearing his unmistakable stamp. This is a bright, vivid pop album, robust with color and so confident in its swagger that its assurance is almost distracting. Macca is determined to dazzle: not only are the melodies bold but the production is over-saturated so his pop pops in a way it hasn't in years. Paul isn't chasing a hit single but rather embracing pop as a vital. But that unwillingness to accept his role in history books also gives NEW its nerve, letting McCartney create music that is thoroughly within his lineage but cleverly modern, eschewing nostalgia for a vibrant present. That's why NEW is one of the best of McCartney's latter-day records: it is aware of his legacy but not beholden to it even as it builds upon it.
