Beck took part in Paul McCartney's McCartney III Imagined album that saw unique takes on songs from Sir Paul's McCartney III solo album. Now, Beck's version of "Find My Way" has a music video, and it is bizarre in the best way possible.

Embedded below, the video shows Beck dancing and moving through various settings, but his face is a deep-fake version of McCartney circa the early "Fab Four" days of The Beatles. Per McCartney's website, "The 'Find My Way (feat. Beck)' video was co-produced by Hyperreal Digital, which specializes in the creation of hyper-realistic digital avatars."

Hyperreal's CEO Remington Scott said in a statement, "The technology to de-age talent and have them perform in creative environments like this is now fully-realized, even with one of the most recognized faces in the world."
