Paul McCartney - Wings Fold A New Decade
Review by Joana Durvalo
Wings Fold A New Decade, the 1980 album by Paul McCartney and his band Wings, is a compelling and diverse collection of songs that showcases the legendary musician's versatility and creativity. With its eclectic mix of rock, pop, and experimental tracks, the album captures the spirit of the era and reflects McCartney's ongoing evolution as an artist.
The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Coming Up," a catchy pop-rock anthem that became a chart-topping hit. From there, McCartney and Wings explore a range of musical styles, from the psychedelic rock of "Temporary Secretary" to the soulful balladry of "Waterfalls" to the upbeat, country-tinged "Old Siam, Sir." The album also features several instrumental tracks, including the dreamy "Frozen Jap" and the jazzy "Summer's Day Song."
Throughout the album, McCartney's songwriting and musicianship are on full display, as he seamlessly blends different genres and influences into a cohesive and engaging whole. The band's tight harmonies and dynamic arrangements add depth and texture to the songs, while McCartney's distinctive vocals and guitar work anchor the album.
