'Stevie Wonder Is A Genius', Says Sir Paul McCartney

Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has told of his praise for Stevie Wonder, after the pair recorded a song together – 30 years after they worked together on hit single ‘Ebony and Ivory’.

The pair have bashed out a new track for McCartney’s new album ‘Kisses on the Bottom’, his 15th solo record which is set to hit shelves on February 6th. The new track, entitled ‘Only Our Hearts’, is only of only two tracks actually written by McCartney, but he enlisted the help of legendary singer and pianist Stevie Wonder – who McCartney described as a ‘genius’.

Speaking of the collaboration, Macca said: “Stevie came along to the studio in LA and he listened to the track for about ten minutes and he totally got it. He just went to the mic and within 20 minutes had nailed this dynamite solo. When you listen you just think, 'How do you come up with that?' But it's just because he is a genius, that's why.”
