(London) The McCartney-Lennon duo reformed for a song: James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon, sons of the two famous Beatles, co-wrote Primrose Hillreleased a few days ago and which is already delighting fans of their illustrious elders.

The release of the title was announced last Friday by James McCartney, who performs it. “ Primrose Hill arrived ! I’m very excited to share my latest song, co-written with my dear friend Sean Ono Lennon,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a sepia-toned selfie of him and John Lennon’s son, who look just like two drops of water to their fathers.

The title is a reference to the upscale London district of the same name, which overlooks the British capital, and where many stars, including Paul McCartney, have residences.

The song is a ballad with melancholic echoes, in which the influence of the two stars of the Liverpool group – who were from the modest neighborhoods of the working-class city in the north of England – is more than evident.

The title did not leave Beatles admirers on social networks indifferent.

“If you close your eyes, you hear the same voices!” ! », as those of John Lennon (died in 1980) and Paul McCartney, for example approves one of them on Instagram.

“I never thought I would hear a new Lennon/McCartney song in 2024,” rejoices another.

Paul McCartney, 81, also promoted the title and congratulated his son on his Facebook account: “My son James released a new song called Primrose Hill Go listen to it! “, adding: “Lots of love to Sean Ono Lennon, who co-wrote the track.”

Following in the footsteps of their elders, James McCartney, 46, and Sean Ono Lennon, 48, both embraced musical careers, the first notably collaborating on albums by his father, far however from the global success of the Beatles.
