The other night, The Rolling Stones took over the New York City club Racket NYC to celebrate their new album Hackney Diamonds – with one of the guests on that new album in tow.
Sweet Sounds Of Heaven, which is apparently the second single, features Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder on the studio version. Following Questlove‘s DJ set, Mick, Keef, and Ronnie hit the stage for a live performance of Sweet Sounds Of Heaven – on which they were joined by Gaga.
Talking about their experience putting the song together for the album, Jagger had compliments for Gaga’s contribution: “She’s a really great singer and I’d never heard her sing [in] 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.”
Love, Dr. Scott James
