Ringo Starr has unveiled exciting details about his upcoming EP, titled Rewind Forward. Fans of the drummer, singer and songwriter are in for a treat, as the project is set to feature notable contributions from some beloved rockers, including from his former Beatles bandmate, Paul McCartney.
Scheduled to drop on October 13, the EP boasts a short tracklist of four songs. To build anticipation for the set’s release, Starr will share the title track as a single this Friday, August 25.
Among the four tracks, the spotlight shines brightest on the second song, “Feeling The Sunlight,” as it was penned by none other than Paul McCartney himself. This collaboration harks back to their iconic partnership in The Beatles and adds a nostalgic touch to the EP, and it certainly has followers of both musicians, and the band that made them famous, thrilled for a new collaboration of sorts.
Furthermore, Rewind Forward showcases the talents of other accomplished artists, including former Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, who co-wrote the closing track “Miss Jean,” Toto guitarist Steve Lukather and Toto singer Joseph Williams, as well as Joe Walsh, Steve Dudas, Lance Morrison, Matt Bissonnette, Torrance Klein, Weston Wilson, Kipp Lennon and Marky Lennon.
Rewind Forward marks Ringo’s fourth EP in just three years. His last collection, the appropriately-titled EP3, arrived in September 2022.
Adding to the excitement, the release date of Rewind Forward coincides with the final day of Starr’s All Starr Band’s anticipated tour across the United States. The trek, which begins in Nevada on September 15 and wraps with a performance in Oklahoma not too long later, gives him an opportunity to play the newer cuts in addition to some of his biggest hits.
Rewind Forward is just the latest recent work that McCartney and Starr have produced together. The two released a song just days ago, as they re-recorded The Beatles’s “Let It Be” alongside Dolly Parton, Mick Fleetwood and Peter Frampton for Parton’s first rock album, Rockstar.
