Paul McCartney soundtracks Skype’s new emojis

Skype are celebrating Valentine’s Day with a set of romance themed emojis and they’re soundtrack by Paul McCartney

Skype’s new ‘Love Mojis’ are being rolled out to celebrate Valentine’s Day this weekend and they’ve been given their own theme tune by none other than Paul McCartney. The former Beatle used used a variety of instruments and his own voice for the brief compositions.

“It turned out to be a great laugh at the same time as challenging because you suddenly realise you’ve got to compress a musical interpretation of an expression into less than five seconds,” McCartney said on his website, “It was like doing a huge crossword puzzle and coming up with all these solutions. And at the same time it was musical so it was great practise for me in the studio.”
