Who had "The Rolling Stones release an absolute banger of a single with an iconic video" on their 2023 bucket list?
I did not.
From the band's latest album, Hackney Diamonds, the song was written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Andrew Watt (who produced the track). It's a pretty typical Stones song - but it's lyrically and musically distinctive enough to be literally the FIRST song of theirs featured on this blog.
The song is nominated for the Grammy this year for Best Rock Song, and it deserves it.
The video features the band on billboards, singing and performing the song. Clearly, they are older images of the band from throughout their career - a lot of images you will recognize - animated by AI.
Oh, and Sydney Sweeney in black leather studded chaps makes an appearance or two in the video. Don't sweat any objectification - she chose her own clothes and rejects any objectification calls, instead choosing to be empowered.
Of course the Stones toured to support this. Of course they play this song.
