LONDON. A surprising musical collaboration has emerged, delighting fans of the iconic band The Beatles. James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon, sons of two of the Fab Four’s members, have released a new single together, marking a unique continuation of their fathers’ musical legacy.
The single, titled “Primrose Hill,” takes its name from a scenic park in north London and was announced by James McCartney on Instagram just four days ago. Alongside a photo of the duo, McCartney expressed his excitement, stating, “‘Primrose Hill’ is here! Today I am so very excited to share my latest song co-written by my good friend @sean_ono_lennon.”
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, McCartney shared, “I had a vision as a child in Scotland, on what was a lovely summers day. Letting go, I saw my true love and saviour in my mind’s eye. ‘Primrose Hill’ is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.”
The acoustic track, written and composed by McCartney and Lennon, evokes memories of cherished moments spent with loved ones at the picturesque location.
McCartney’s sister, Mary McCartney, a renowned photographer, contributed to the song’s promotion by capturing intimate moments of her brother performing at his piano and amidst the silhouette of Primrose Hill itself.
Both second-generation performers were born in the 1970s following the dissolution of The Beatles. While there has been no direct response from Sean Ono Lennon, Paul McCartney himself endorsed the collaboration, urging his global following to check out the song.
The promotional image featuring McCartney and Lennon is not new, having been previously shared by Lennon on Instagram in 2018.
Situated near Regent’s Park and the vibrant market of Camden Town, the affluent neighborhood of Primrose Hill has long been a magnet for celebrities, earning it the moniker “Primrose Hill set” in the 1990s, attracting stars like Jude Law, Liam Gallagher, and Kate Moss.
