Paul McCartney is releasing ‘McCartney, 3,2,1’ a six-episode documentary on his life. The series will take shape as a one-to-one interview with non-other than one of the most famous international producers, Rick Rubin. It will be broadcasted on the American streaming platform Hulu from July 16th.
Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment said in a statement: ‘Never before have fans had the opportunity to hear Paul McCartney share, in such expansive, celebratory detail, the experience of creating his life’s work – more than 50 years of culture-defining music. To be an observer as Paul and Rick Rubin deconstruct how some of the biggest hits in music history came to be is truly enlightening. It is an honour that Paul chose to return to Hulu to share this one-of-a-kind series.’
Indeed, Sir Paul sits down for a rare and in-depth interview with Rubin. They touch upon his revolutionary Beatles years, the 1970s and his American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, and his over fifty-year solo career. The six episodes will cover songwriting, influences, and personal relationship that formed and inspired the international rockstar and his songs. In fact, the ex-Beatle started writing songs when he was 14, and from there on he has received 18 Grammys and his most recent album, ‘McCartney III’, hit number 1 in the UK Charts and on the US Billboard Album Sales charts in December 2020, the month of its release. Moreover, in 1997, he has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his service to music.
On the other hand, producer Rick Rubin hold eight Grammys, including the category Album of the Year which he won with the Dixie Chicks in 2007 and Adele in 2012. He worked with numerous band and solo artists, from Slayer to James Blake, and is considered one of the most influential music producer of all times. He produced the Grammy-winning record ‘The New Abnormal’ by The Strokes, and he is now co-producing and hosting the podcast series ‘Broken Record’ with Malcolm Gladwell.
