Pipes of Peace is the fourth solo studio album by former Beatle, Paul McCartney, released in 1983. The album features collaborations with Michael Jackson, who co-wrote and sang on the hit single "Say Say Say." The album also includes other well-known tracks such as "Pipes of Peace" and "So Bad."
Pipes of Peace was a follow-up to McCartney's successful 1982 album Tug of War, and like its predecessor, it was produced by George Martin. The album features a mix of upbeat pop songs and more reflective ballads, with themes that touch on love, war, and the human condition.
While the album was not as commercially successful as some of McCartney's previous albums, it was well-received by critics and has since gained a reputation as an underrated gem in McCartney's discography. The album showcases McCartney's versatility as a songwriter and his ability to blend different musical styles, from rock to reggae to electronic.
