The Rolling Stones Drops New Live Video for “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” featuring Lady Gaga
British rock band The Rolling Stones has dropped a new live video for “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” featuring American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga.
The video was filmed at the New York City club Racket on October 19, 2023, directed by James Barnes.
The event was held as the album launch party ahead of releasing the new album “Hackney Diamonds”, and the band performed seven songs.
The band frontman Mick Jagger told the crowd at the Racket, “It seems we always launch our albums in New York. We’ve done it in a blimp. We’ve done it on a flatbed truck going down 5th avenue. We were missing launches so much that we had to make another album and come back and re-launch it.”
“Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” was released as the first single from the album, featuring Lady Gaga and American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder.- Wt3ISLkIS38

Mick Jagger told Zane Lowe of Apple Music about the song, “She's a really great singer and I'd never heard her sing quite that style before. Not exactly. We did it live in the room and that was a great experience, her just coming in the room and her just opening up and seeing her bits and feeling her way and then getting more confident. And then we came back and then did some extra parts that we hadn't done on the day and then we did some tidying up and we were just in the overdub room, really face-to-face, getting them really tight, the parts really tight, and then being slightly competitive and screaming.”
He continued, “It's all played live. And of course we did overdubs, but it's all played in the room. Yeah, there's that moment, especially in that session where we had Stevie, and you're feeling your way out a little bit and then you do that soul ending, which is you do sometimes on stage where you stop and you start. It's very kind of tried and tested redoubling thing. But, yeah, I mean, it really feels like, yeah, it is played live... it was a good moment.”-
He added, “We played it with Keith and Ronnie when we were in The Bahamas when we more or less finished everything. But we hadn't mixed it then, so then we mixed it, I mixed it with the mixer and Andy [Andrew Watt] and we were in three places. And then when we finished mixing it, we had a sort of three-way playback. And, yeah, it's a really good moment when you play something. And it's always a great moment when you play it back like that. And, 'Wow, we finished it and it sounds really good, and we're pleased with it.' Because if we hadn't been pleased with it, we've had to have change it. You've got to choose the right songs because we recorded a lot more songs than this. And then to choose a set of songs, these aren't necessarily even, you might prefer one than the other, but they will come out. The other ones will come out. But choose a good balance of the songs you've recorded.” - source : YouTube
