Paul McCartney blows 'Kiss' to Hollywood

"Kisses on the Bottom," 

named after the lyrics on the album's first track "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," will showcase the former Beatle on a "deeply personal journey" singing classic American songs that inspired McCartney and bandmate John Lennon when they wrote songs for the Beatles.

"When we grew up, we had my dad's or in John's case, his mother's era that we were listening to, and then when we came to write rock and roll songs, this informed the rock and roll," McCartney told reporters in London on Thursday.

He added the Beatles' "Honey Pie" was one such track "harking back to Hollywood."
 
The ex-Beatle said he was inspired by some of Hollywood’s best known actors and singers, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and especially Fred Astaire, whose style and voice were a reference for McCartney throughout his career.When we grew up, we had my dad’s or in John’s case, his mother’s era that we were listening to, and then when we came to write rock and roll songs, this informed the rock and roll,” McCartney told reporters in London on Thursday. He added the Beatles’ Honey Pie was one such track “harking back to Hollywood. Fred Astaire was just this fantastic character from that era, he’s so elegant. Musically, his vocal style is very interesting…he had this little voice that I kind of wanted to get near, so I tried that and that became a little bit of a signature with this album,” said McCartney. “It’s this era that I love, it’s a rich era for style, music and intelligent art.”
