Beatles ’83 pt3

A new solo album is on the way from Paul McCartney in the fall of 1983 - and all eyes were on the follow-up effort to his smash hit LP Tug of War the year prior. Pipes of Peace, however, was a markedly different record from it predecessor - acting in some ways as a peaceful, chipper answer to the heavy, dramatic leanings of much of the previous LP. Uncharacteristic introspection was still on the menu for Macca, with tracks like The Other Me highlighting McCartney's doubts - the kind of self-examination which had been a rarity in the former Beatle's solo catalog up to this point. Also of note the single Say Say Say alongside the enormously successful Michael Jackson - which helped bring Paul back to the top of the charts and keep his 1980s hit streak alive... Hosted on Acast.
