McCartney says new CD is retrospective

NEW YORK -        Paul McCartney says his upcoming album, "Memory Almost Full," looks back to the past. "In places it's a very personal record and a lot of it is retrospective, drawing from memory, like memories from being a kid, from Liverpool and from summers gone," the 64-year-old ex-Beatle said Monday in a statement. 
 
"The album is evocative, emotional, rocking, but I can't really sum it up in one sentence," he said.

"Memory Almost Full," McCartney's 21st solo album, will be released June 5 in the United States. It is his first for Hear Music, Starbucks' new music label.

A medley of five songs on the 13-track disc is "purposely retrospective," said the legendary singer-songwriter. "I thought this might be because I'm at this point in my life, but then I think about the times I was writing with John (Lennon) and a lot of that was also looking back."

Film director Michel Gondry has directed a music video — starring        Natalie Portman — for the opening track "Dance Tonight," but McCartney said he's "not going to give the plot away."

McCartney last released the acclaimed "Chaos And Creation In the Backyard," in 2005.

Makes you wonder how they picked Natalie Portman for the video. How many actors & actresses actually do music videos? Not counting videos for songs on movie soundtracks, I can't think of many...

-Tom Petty had Kim Bassinger in "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
-Michael Jackson had Eddie Murphy in that one video set in Egypt and he had the kid from Home Alone and Norm from Cheers in another.
-Chevy Chase was in Paul Simon's "Call Me Al" video.
-Not sure if this counts, but Sam Kinison was in a Bon Jovi video

I found the video Here

The video is pretty much Paul walking around his house playing a mandolin while being chased by Natalie Portman in Jedi Spirit form.
