Andrew Watt Reveals Collaboration with Paul McCartney Over Tea

Hollywood, CA – Renowned music producer Andrew Watt revealed that he is collaborating with legendary Beatle Paul McCartney. In a recent interview, Watt shared how the opportunity surfaced following his Grammy win for Producer of the Year.

Watt, known for his work with iconic rock acts like The Rolling Stones and Ozzy Osbourne, discussed his excitement over the upcoming collaboration with McCartney. “His manager, Scott Rodger, and I had previously talked about working together, and then I won the Grammy. I believe Rodger mentioned it to Paul, and before I knew it, I got a text saying, ‘Paul wants to come over for tea,'” Watt said.

The upcoming visit triggered a flurry of nervous energy for Watt, who humorously recounted how he was anxious about his guitar situation. “I realized in the middle of the night that I had no lefty guitars. I only play right-handed ones. What if he wants to show me something on guitar?”

Watt added that he managed to rent left-handed guitars before McCartney’s visit, ensuring he could play alongside the music icon. The two musicians ended up discussing McCartney’s classic song “Blackbird,” a track that holds significant meaning for Watt.

“I was asking Paul if I was playing it correctly, and he showed me some interesting techniques,” Watt explained. The collaboration further deepened when McCartney revealed the intriguing background element of the song: “You know, the most important part of that song is that you tap your foot while you play it. We didn’t have metronomes back then. That’s my foot tapping.”

This unexpected revelation showcases Watt’s commitment to understanding music at its core, as he stated, “Getting those little bits of information from the source is why I exist in this world. It gives me life.”

Watt’s interaction with McCartney is a testament to his rising prominence in the music industry, further solidified by his recent work on The Rolling Stones’ album, “Hackney Diamonds,” and Lady Gaga‘s project, “Die With A Smile.” The musician’s ascent has garnered significant interest as he continues to push boundaries in his craft.

In conclusion, the collaboration with McCartney adds to Watt’s impressive roster, and fans eagerly await what this meeting of legends will yield.
