After nearly a decade out of the spotlight, James McCartney is returning with brand new music in 2024.

James McCartney, son of Paul McCartney, has released a fresh take on Joni Mitchell’s classic song, “The Circle Game.” His version, available on streaming platforms and YouTube, adds a breezy, country-rock vibe to the folk favorite.

Leading up to the release, James shared his love for the song on social media, saying it beautifully captures the journey from childhood to adulthood. He also highlighted one of his favorite lyrics: “Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now… Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down.”

Fans praised his heartfelt rendition, calling it “beautiful” and “uplifting.”

Originally written in 1966, “The Circle Game” appeared on Joni Mitchell’s 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon and has been covered by many artists.

This marks James’ fourth single this year, following “Beautiful,” “Primrose Hill,” and “Nothing.” His song “Primrose Hill” gained attention for being co-written with Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon. James continues to honor his roots while carving his own path in music.

At Althorp, where roses still bloom for the memory of Diana, the People’s Princess, a hush fell across the gathered crowd. On what would have been her birthday, Susan Boyle stepped forward, her voice trembling yet radiant, carrying a hymn of love and remembrance. Beside her, the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, stood not just as a royal but as a daughter-in-law paying homage, her own voice joining in the fragile harmony. Together, they sang into the summer air, the melody weaving grief with grace, memory with hope. Guests wiped their eyes as Boyle’s soaring notes blended with Kate’s tender tone, echoing across the quiet fields. It was less a performance than a prayer — two women from different worlds united in song, lifting their voices for Diana. And when the final note lingered and faded, it felt as if the Princess herself had been serenaded on her birthday, her legacy alive in every trembling chord.
