Paul McCartney is doing something unique as she is writing tunes to accompany emojis.

The 73-year-old singer recently announced that he has written a series of sounds to go with emojis on video chat service Skype that are mostly designed for Valentine's Day messages, reports News24.com.

The former Beatle said in a video that at first he though whether he should do it or not, but then he thought it would be something fun, something nice and new.

The video shows McCartney at work in his studio creating ultra-brief tunes for 20 emotions, which range from hard hooks on the guitar to more ethereal progressions on the xylophone.
