The Rolling Stones have released a sample of Lady Gaga vocals and Stevie Wonder keys on their highly anticipated collaboration “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven”.
The track, taken from her highly anticipated album ‘Hackney Diamonds’, sees Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood join forces with the pop megastar and Motown legend.
In the clip, Gaga belts out “I hear the sweet sounds of Heaven,” followed by Mick’s request: “Play me something, Stevie.”
And his characteristically soulful, jazzy playing is audible.
Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John are also featured on ‘Hackney Diamonds’, which is released on October 20.
The former Beatle plays bass guitar in “Bite My Head Off” and the “Rocket Man” hitmaker plays piano in “Get Close” and “live by the sword”.
Mick recently revealed that the band’s collaboration with former rival McCartney was unexpected.
Talking to “Q with Tom Power”, he said: “Paul was in LA when we were recording and he was supposed to work with Andy for a week.
“Andy had said, ‘I’m working on this record and I’m going to be on it for six months if I do nothing else.
“Andy said, ‘Why don’t we get Paul to come in? We suggested he play on this song and he really rocked it. We were all in the same room together.
“It seemed so natural and Paul was so relaxed and enjoying it. John [Lennon] was a close friend of mine and he was so sharp.
“Paul is a different personality. We don’t see each other that much, but we text.”
Late drummer and original member Charlie Watts – who died of cancer in August 2021 at the age of 80 – appears on two tracks of the new album. His replacement, Steve Jordan, plays on the other 10 tracks.
