Sean Lennon took to social media to clear up some of the misconceptions regarding the recently announced third and final Beatles song Paul McCartney revealed would be released this year.
McCartney, who in describing the effort to clean up and separate John Lennon's vocal from his primitive cassette demo tape, had explained the process as using “AI,” causing some fans and press outlets to speculate the track might not feature authentic performances by John Lennon and George Harrison recorded prior to their deaths.
Sean Lennon, who represents his father's creative and financial interest in the Beatles' partnership, tweeted about the incorrect reports: “This is not happening. All we did was clean the noise from the vocal track. People are completely misunderstanding what occurred. There have always been ways of 'de-noising' tracks but AI just does it better because it learns what the vocal is and is able to very precisely remove everything that is not the vocal.”
