Paul McCartney is releasing his 21st solo album, "Memory Almost Full," on June 5. Thanks to his daughter, Stella, who is a fashion designer, Natalie Portman will perform in the music video for a track on his album called "Dance Tonight."
"The connection with Natalie came from my daughter Stella, who makes non-leather shoes that Natalie buys, so I just thought,

`Well, I'll ring her up and just see if she'll do it.' So I rang her up and said, `Hey, I'm Stella's dad!'" McCartney said on his website.
In the video actress Natalie Portman, 25, plays an electronic ghost who "is summoned by the sound of McCartney's mandolin." The former Beatles member premiered his video on Wednesday.

Paul McCartney premieres latest music video on YouTube
26 May 2007 18:07 by DVDBack23

In another sign that artists are understanding more and more the effect of the internet on their sales and popularity, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney has premiered his latest music video on YouTube. According to YouTube, the video has over 200,000 hits in under 48 hours "With its community of millions of worldwide users,

YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos through a Web experience," McCartney said in a statement on his Web site. "The video for 'Dance Tonight' will be featured and promoted through the 'Director Videos' slots, which sit at the top of the homepage." McCartney's newest album, "Memory Almost Full" is set for release next week and "Dance Tonight" is the first single. Artists have been using sites like YouTube and MySpace more often to help gain new fans and to release videos to broader audiences. This is a trend I hope will continue.

Paul McCartney says "Memory Almost Full" isn't nostalgic

Paul McCartney says that his new album, Memory Almost Full, isn't based on nostalgia -- despite the fact that the album's first single is called "My Ever Present Past." McCartney told pitchforkmedia.com that, "I wouldn't use the word nostalgia so much. Nostalgia implies something a bit soppy -- it's not a sort of very complimentary word. I would use the word 'memory' more, because I think a lot of artists use memories."He added that, "You know, you're always looking at last year, or 10 years ago, or your school days, or your teenage years, your formative years. Because that's exactly what they are, they're your formative years."

McCartney chronicles key moments in his life in the song "That Was Me," which touches upon his childhood and early Beatles days, and even looks forward by writing his own requiem for the album's stately closer, "End Of The End." Macca did admit that the album has one foot rooted in the past: "I did look at the album and think, 'Whoa, it's all very retrospective.' But then I thought, "Wait a minute, when I was twenty-something I was writing about Penny Lane, which was my teenage years.' So, it's something you do. If you're using your imagination, you tend to look into the past for ideas.

" McCartney's Memory Almost Full" will be released on June 5th. The album is available for pre-order on amazon.com. A special video of McCartney in his London office performing the album's lead cut "Dance Tonight" can be accessed by logging on to amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/3753.Flashback: It was 31 years ago today (May 22nd, 1976) that Wings' "Silly Love Songs" earned Macca his fifth Number One hit and went on to top the charts for five weeks. "Silly Love Songs" proved to be McCartney's third most successful post-Beatles single to date, following his 1983 duet with Michael Jackson on "Say, Say, Say," which topped the charts for six weeks, and his 1982 duet with Stevie Wonder on "Ebony And Ivory," which spent seven weeks at Number One.
