Album Information
It has been described by McCartney as a complete change in musical style, compared to his previous releases. He was quoted saying about the new album, "I'm going for Prince chord changes, Michael (Jackson) melodies, and the bigness of Madonna - fun '80s stuff. That's the best that I can put it".[4] Producers on the album include Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Sean Garrett and J.R. Rotem.
According to McCartney's Australian website his version of Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love" (which he co-wrote) will be a bonus track on the Australian release.
