Sir Paul to relaunch career with new LP

SIR Paul McCartney is planning to relaunch his musical career with a new album, once his bitter divorce from Heather Mills is settled.
Friends say the ex-Beatle has been writing songs since he split with his estranged wife and is desperate to be known for his music again, and not his tempestuous private life.
Sources close to Sir Paul confirmed last night he is preparing “new projects”.
Sir Paul is believed to be scheduling the new rock album for seven to eight weeks’ time.
A source close to the ex-Beatle said: “It’s almost like starting out for him again. He lost touch with his core fans when he married Heather, and wants to reconnect.”
Another McCartney aide said: “We’ve been told to stand by for an album. He has been working on it for some time and it will be the first of two projects, the second being a guitar concerto.”

I am a fan of Sir Paul's but it strikes me that ever since he began his solo career every album that has appeared has been touted that he is relaunching his career. . . as if his solo efforts don't stack up to what he did with the Beatles. And maybe they don't, or at least they do not in the minds of the public. I would like to observe though that his last CD "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" (http://www.buzztone.com/paulmccartney/) was a very fine work and certainly, to me at least, stacked up well against his work with the Beatles. And that LP came out and presumably was created while he was married to Heather Mills so it isn't as if he is coming out of a Heather Mills-induced malaise!
