Singer-songwriter Paul McCartney expresses admiration for Beyonce's rendition of The Beatles' 'Blackbird' in her latest album 'Cowboy Carter'. McCartney's original song was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and racial tensions in the 1960s.

MANILA, Philippines — Singer-songwriter Paul McCartney praised fellow artist Beyonce 's cover of The Beatles ' " Blackbird ," which is included in her latest album " Cowboy Carter ."

The track feels an apt inclusion on "Cowboy Carter" which, along with Beyonce's previous album "Renaissance," sees the singer tapping into American music's Black roots with a modern lens. "When I saw the footage on the television in the early '60s of the black girls being turned away from school, I found it shocking and I can’t believe that still in these days there are places where this kind of thing is happening right now," McCartney said.

Beyonce also did a cover of country singer Dolly Parton's hit song "Jolene" with updated lyrics and structure on her 27-track album "Cowboy Carter."Beautycon 2024: Highlights, spotted celebs, top brands from the beauty event of the yearUS Powerball jackpot spiked to $975 million and you can join from the Philippines
