Former Beatle Paul McCartney has announced a new album release this summer. The release will be his 22nd so far and a follow-up to his 2006 classical music album Ecce Cor Meum ("Behold My Heart" in Latin).

The artist will break the ice for the new Hear Music label, a joint effort between coffee chain Starbucks and Concord Music Group.

This move comes after splitting with his long time record company Capitol. McCartney has worked with Capitol since his days with the Beatles 43 years ago.

The album is to be released this summer, and will be available at international Starbucks locations as well as traditional music retail outlets.
