Paul McCartney Says Stevie Wonder Is A 'Genius'

Paul McCartney has offered high praise to Stevie Wonder following the pair's collaboration on Sir Paul's new track "Only Our Hearts."

While speaking with NME.com, Macca said Stevie made quick work of the track:

"Stevie came along to the studio in LA and he listened to the track for about ten minutes and he totally got it. He just went to the mic and within 20 minutes had nailed this dynamite solo. When you listen you just think, 'How do you come up with that?' But it's just because he is a genius, that's why," he explained.

"Only Our Hearts" appears on McCartney's new studio release Kisses on the Bottom, which is due out on February 6. The album is comprised of jazz standards from Macca's youth.
