The prospect of AI technology fulfilling The Beatles¡¯ final dream is on the horizon. The legendary British band, The Beatles, is set to release a new song this year with the help of AI technology. It will be the band¡¯s first release in 27 years since 1996.
Former Beatles member Paul McCartney has yet to reveal the title of the unreleased song. However, there is a high possibility that it could be John Lennon¡¯s 1978 composition, ¡°Now and Then.¡± Paul McCartney received a demo of the song from Lennon¡¯s widow, Yoko Ono, and work has since been in progress to complete it.
The remaining members of The Beatles tried to finish Lennon¡¯s song 27 years ago but faced various challenges, leading them to abandon it. Obstacles included poor recording quality, ambient noise issues, and the overall incompleteness of the song. Fortunately, with the advancement of AI technology, Lennon¡¯s voice could be extricated from the recording and the melody adjusted. McCartney commented on the restoration efforts, calling them ¡°a little bit spooky but exciting.¡±
The forthcoming release of the song will be The Beatles¡¯ final piece. With the incorporation of AI technology, which is swiftly gaining prominence, the news of a new release from The Beatles long after its disbandment has captured the world¡¯s attention.
