A New Lennon McCartney Song But Not What You Think
"Primrose Hill," a new single co wrote by Sean Lennon & James McCartney
Lennon McCartney will always be the all-time songwriting team. But here’s a new twist for something new and different: the songwriting team of Lennon McCartney, Sean Lennon, John Lennon’s son, and James McCartney, Paul McCartney’s son.
New Lennon McCartney Song New Collaboration
Primrose Hill, a single by Paul McCartney’s son James, was co-written with Sean Ono Lennon. It’s a lovely ballad with some beautiful guitar parts. James Paul McCartney described the single on his Instagram account.

“I had a vision as a child in Scotland on what was a lovely summer day. Letting go, I saw my true love and savior in my mind’s eye. Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.”
Who Is James McCartney?

Born to Paul and Linda McCartney in 1977, James was named after his grandfather, Jim McCartney, and Paul’s Father. Music-wise, James released two solo albums in 2013 and 2016. He has previously co-written songs with his father and played with him on Paul McCartney’s albums, such as 1997’s acclaimed Flaming Pie.

“My son James has a new song called ‘Primrose Hill’ – check it out! And lots of love to Sean Ono Lennon, who co-wrote the song,” he wrote on Facebook.
There Was A Rumor A Few Years Back
Social media was abuzz a few years ago about some type of supergroup forming with other children of The Beatles, including John Lennon’s son Sean Lennon, and George Harrison’s son Dhani Harrison. Starkey’s responses came after he posted an image of himself hanging out with Sean Lennon in April 2023, and fans began proposing the supergroup idea. But Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr, was quick to shoot down any rumors of this ever happening.
Like his father, Zak Starkey is a drummer who has been playing and recording with The Who since 1996 and previously worked with Oasis.

Unlike in previous years, fans got to vote for up to seven nominees every day. Previously, the choices were capped at five nominees.
The Fan Vote was first launched in 2013. Per the Rock Hall, “There have been over four million fan votes cast over the past 10 years, with 64% of the Fan Vote ballot (35 of 55) earning induction in the same year; and 86% (38 of 44 unique nominations) eventually earning induction. In 2022, the entire Top 5 earned induction – the only time that has happened.”
Once voting closes, the top seven artists in the Fan Vote will create what is called a “Fans’ Ballot.” It will be counted among the other ballots that various artists, historians, and music industry professionals fill out and submit.
