Comments: Paul contributes to two tracks on the album, although he's not referenced on one, but it is his voice on Interlude no.1.
Track 5, My Soul, is written by Nitin Sawhney and Paul McCartney.
Paul sings lead vocals and plays Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar.
From C.D. Liner Notes:

Everyday is full of representations - from politicians, the media and the power of rumour.
From bizarre justifications for war to issues of race, nationality, religion and cultural identity, we are saturated constantly with information and second-hand opinion.
On 7th July 2005 a bomb exploded on a London bus.
A singer and friend of mine, Natty, was there.
Two weeks later he was present at the shooting of a Brazilian man - Jean Charles De Menezes.
Last year we wrote a song together.
Natty, like myself, feels something indefinable has shifted.
London's heartbeat has changed.
Within that heartbeat lies a feeling, a collective consciousness, the uniting hum of disparate voices waiting to be heard. A sound.
This is a collection of thoughts, ideas, feelings and catharsis in a city of immense diversity, imagination and beliefs. Featuring a whole range of artists, some less known, some celebrated, this music attempts to capture a zeitgeist and common humanity that pervades superficial divides.
Featuring performances from Natty, Reena Bhardwaj, Ojos De Brujo, Anoushka Shankar, Roxanne Tataei, Tina Grace, Aruba Red, Imogen Heap, Faheem Mazhar and Paul McCartney with specially contributed artwork from Antony Gormley,
This is an album of collaboration .....
to capture the London I know.
