'We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI, so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do,' McCartney said.
Beatles singer Paul McCartney told the BBC that artificial intelligence was used to "extricate" and clean up the vocals of former bandmate John Lennon from an old recording. The vocals are now set to feature on an upcoming track.
"It's a very interesting thing, you know. It's something we're all sort of tackling at the moment and trying to deal with," McCartney told the BBC'sMcCartney said "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson — who in 2021 released an eight-hour documentary called "The Beatles: Get Back" featuring colorized, cleaned-up archive footage of the band — was able to "extricate" Lennon's voice "from a ropey little bit of cassette.
"So when we came to make what will be the last Beatles record, it was a demo that John had that we worked on, and we just finished it up. It will be released this year," McCartney said. The BBC said it is expected to be a Lennon song from 1978 called "Now And Then," which McCartney has in the past expressed a desire to "finish." Lennon was murdered in 1980.
