Release Date: June 5
Artist: Paul McCartney
Record Label: Hear Music
McCartney is the first artist signed to Starbucks' Hear music label, and while the aesthetic match of singer and coffee chain would seem as right as caramel and macchiato, bear in mind that the ex-Beatle's last album was neither foamy nor sweet. (Bad writing? Sorry, but if you sign with Starbucks' you're just begging for it.) On Memory, produced by David Kahne, McCartney continues looking back over his life, though with a little less acid, and repeats the rather impressive feat of playing most of the instruments.
