Paul McCartney is back showing off his McCartney III Imagined, this time unloading a new redo by Radiohead's Ed O'Brien.

As EOB, O'Brien has had a go at McCartney's "Slidin'," with the Radiohead player getting a bit of extra help from producer Paul Epworth.

"I really liked ['Slidin"], and so I said to Paul Epworth, would you fancy getting stuck in?" O'Brien told BBC Radio 6. "He was really up for it. It was great. A moment of light in the darkness of the winter that's just been. We had a lot of fun. Got into [McCartney's] vocals and added some chaos, some guitar — my reference point was 'Helter Skelter.' Ramp up the intensity!"

The rework has arrived via a new visualizer, and you can check that out below.

McCartney III Imagined will arrive on April 16 via Capitol. The album — a remake of McCartney III — features the likes of St. Vincent, Josh Homme, Phoebe Bridgers, Massive Attack's 3D, Damon Albarn, Anderson .Paak, BeckKhruangbin and Blood Orange.
