All you need is love: The former Beatle was approached by Skype to write music to accompany its animated emojis for Valentine's day.

One half of the world's most successful song-writing partnership has put down his Hofner bass and picked up his computer to help Microsoft spread some love this Valentine's Day.

Sir Paul McCartney is one of the most famous, successful, revered and respected singer-songwriters in the history of popular music. Therefore it's not surprising that when he was approached by Skype to write music to accompany its animated emojis - Mojis - he was initially hesitant. "But then I thought, ‘Yeah, why not?' It's something fun, something nice and new," he said.

The result is a set of Skype Mojis conveying that most powerful of all emotions - love - just in time for Feb 14 and with music from none other than one of the Fab Four. —  AFP Relaxnews
