Paul McCartney [ tickets ] has announced the due date and track list for his upcoming album, "Memory Almost Full."

The 13-song set, which is scheduled to hit stores June 4, will be the inaugural release on the newly formed Hear Music label, which is a collaboration between Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group. It will be available at all traditional music-retail outlets and Starbucks locations internationally, according to McCartney's website.

The star said in a posting at his site that he began work on the forthcoming album well before the release of his latest set, 2005's "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard." Recording sessions for "Memory Almost Full" started at Abbey Road in 2003, but McCartney switched gears when he got the idea for "Chaos."

"When I was just finishing up everything concerned with 'Chaos' and had just got the Grammy nominations (2006), I realized I had this album to go back to and finish off," he wrote. "So I got it out to listen to it again, wondering if I would enjoy it, but actually, I really loved it."

He then went back through the recordings, track by track, making changes as he went along.

"I fixed things I wasn't too keen on and it just evolved from there," Macca explained. "Without me knowing, or really trying, it started to get its own theme, a sort of thread that holds it all together. So I suppose it's about half new stuff and half old stuff from 2003."

McCartney described the album as "evocative, emotional, rocking."

"In places, it's a very personal record and a lot of it is retrospective, drawing from memory, like memories from being a kid, from Liverpool and from summers gone," he said.

The video for the opening track, "Dance Tonight," was shot a couple of weeks ago with director Michel Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"). It stars Natalie Portman and Mackenzie Crook.

McCartney, who has yet to mention anything about a tour to support the new record, said he is currently starting to hit the promotional trail and is getting his first bits of feedback about the album. "So far, so good!" he said.

Last November, McCartney released "The Space Within Us" DVD, which captures his 2005 record-breaking US tour.
