Indeed, Anka has a whole new album on the horizon entitled Making Memories. Fittingly, the album has callbacks to some of the biggest memories in music history. It features Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli with a cover of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” among others. The album is due out on July 30, which coincides with Anka’s 80th birthday and over six decades active in his career.

Collaborative animated music video

In early 2021, a new trend emerged on TikTok known as the Silhouette Challenge, featuring users recording two silhouetted versions of themselves dancing to music. The trend helped Paul Anka become a favorite among the next generation of music-listeners, and he worked with someone equally familiar with dancing and music to create some extra content.

On May 25, Anka’s YouTube channel released a nearly five-minute-long animated music video featuring the re-recording of “Put Your Head on My Shoulder.” The video features cartoons of each singer’s younger selves serenading their parts of the latest recording as they go about their cartoon day.
