Whether it is the title of a new album or a lead single is yet to be revealed, but fans have speculated it is more likely the latter. Speculation is rampant on the r\/PaulMcCartney Reddit page, with long-term fans wondering when the new album will be formally announced, and whether <em>The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em> will be a single, or the title of the long-awaited McCartney project. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One fan wrote: \u201cThinking more about this whole situation, wasn\u2019t it previously made pretty clear that Paul himself was doing the album cover and not his nephew? I still think <em>The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em> is probably a song on the album, but maybe it\u2019ll be a pre-release single with artwork from Paul\u2019s nephew? That would seem to clear up most of the loose ends on this whole (already weird) situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fan added: \u201cIsn\u2019t it possible that his nephew made this kind of \u2018logo\/badge\u2019, whatever it is, for the album title? That wouldn\u2019t exclude the possibility that the cover art itself belongs to Paul. Think of the <em>Egypt Station<\/em> cover and the name badge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third wrote: \u201cI really like that as an album name, assuming that\u2019s for sure what it\u2019s going to be called. Great name.\u201d Some were less than convinced by the naming of the new project from McCartney, though. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One wrote: \u201cDear God, please no. The name within itself sucks (or at least needs some time to grow on me), but if that\u2019s the artwork, it\u2019s over, probably his worst artwork. He spent so much time on that?! I really hope all this bird stuff is more in line with what he\u2019s got planned than this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fan replied: \u201cThe album cover never matters to how an album sounds. Just look at<em> Cloud 9<\/em>.\u201d A third wrote: \u201cThe title will become good\/bad depending on the content of the album. <em>Chaos and Creation<\/em> is a pretty crappy, clunky title, in my opinion, with a similarly nostalgic feel and cover art, but the album was so good that it ended up working (or at least not sinking the album).\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details of the upcoming project are limited, but McCartney has confirmed a few details to those on his mailing list. McCartney\u2019s social media profiles were updated earlier this month with an emoji of a blackbird, with some fans believing this is a sign of new material on the way. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"\/>\n\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source cultfollowing.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans of the veteran songwriter Paul McCartney believe a new album announcement is imminent.
