Ringo Starr has reunited with his onetime Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney on new single "Here’s to the Nights" that features on his forthcoming Zoom In EP. Paul sings backup, and is one of a whole bunch of all-star guests on the song, including Diane Warren (who wrote it), Joe Walsh, Corinne Bailey Rae, Eric Burton (Black Pumas), Sheryl Crow, Finneas, Dave Grohl, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Jenny Lewis, Steve Lukather, Chris Stapleton, and Yola.
“When Diane presented this song to me I loved the sentiment of it,” says Ringo. “This is the kind of song we all want to sing along to, and it was so great how many wonderful musicians joined in. I wanted it out in time for New Years’ because it feels like a good song to end a tough year on. So here’s to the nights we won’t remember and the friends we won’t forget – and I am wishing everyone peace and love for 2021.”
"Here's to the Nights" also features Steve Lukather (Toto), Benmont Tench (The Heartbreakers), Bruce Sugar, Nathan East, Charlie Bisharat, and Jacob Braun. Ringo's Zoom In will be out March 29, 2021. Check out the tracklist and credits below.
Meanwhile, Paul is set to release McCartney III this Friday.
