What? McCartney has turned electronic? Apparently he has! The 70-year-old Beatle will never finish to reinvent himself and he has just recorded with Italian artist Bloody Beetroots, ‘Out of Sight’, an epic electronica number which premiered on Rolling Stone this Friday.
I had never heard of this artist, but his real name is Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo – really? this is even weirder than his moniker but since Macca is a Sir too, it works perfectly – and he is famous for mixing electro house and dance-punk.
