Paul McCartney's new music video for "Appreciate" introduces us to his most recent collaborator: a slick robot named Newman.
The video follows Newman walking through a museum that comes to life at the twang of McCartney's iconic Höfner bass. Together, the two wake up the still-life displays.

"I woke up one morning with an image in my head of me standing with a large robot," McCartney explains on his website. McCartney then worked with puppeteers from the War Horse theater production to make his dream a reality.
Newman and his stealthy puppeteers greeted The Beatles singer in Japan on Thursday. They'll all join McCartney onstage for his upcoming shows in Tokyo and Osaka.
