New Beatles Single 'Now and Then' Released

A new Beatles song produced with a little help from artificial intelligence and including the vocals of John Lennon was released on Thursday — to lukewarm reviews.

"'Now and Then' is wispy, indistinct and, frankly, a bit of a wet ballad. It sounds more like late-period Lennon than any moment in the Beatles' career.""It's hard to imagine Lennon being happy with lines like, 'I know it's true, it's all because of you/ And if I make it through, it's all because of you'," wrote the magazine's Jem Aswad.

McCartney, 81, announced the song's release in June, in what was dubbed in a promotional trailer "the last Beatles song". AI has now made that possible, although the use of the technology in music is the subject of industry-wide debate, with some denouncing copyright abuses and others praising its prowess.

Starr, 83, added the process "was the closest we'll ever come to having him back in the room so it was very emotional for all of us".Sean Ono Lennon, the son of Lennon and Ono, said it was "incredibly touching" to hear the former Beatles working together again "after all the years that dad had been gone.
