ANGRY

For over sixty years, The Rolling Stones has remained "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". And this British band, which the current lineup features founding members, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (following the passing of original drummer, Charlie Watts in 2021) and Ronnie Wood (who joined in 1975), is still making music together. The Stones are about to release a new album of original material (their first in eighteen years) called "Hackney Diamonds".

With production by Don Was and Andrew Watt, the band had begun work back in 2020 before being interrupted by the COVID-19 shutdowns, then going back in earnest in late 2022 and concluding in early 2023. The album, due out on October 20th, has an impressive list of guest musicians appearing which includes Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, former Stone, Bill Wyman and a member of their "rival" Brit rock band back in the '60's, former Beatle, Paul McCartney. There are a couple of tracks that features Watts on drums with the rest of the album featuring new drummer, Steve Jordan.

The first single, "Angry" delivers a classic Stones sound, filled with thrashing guitars, pulsating beat and a characteristically cheeky vocal by Jagger. The music video has actress, Sydney Sweeney as a black leather clad chick gyrating seductively in the back of a convertible as the car cruises down Sunset Blvd in LA, watching vintage Rolling Stones billboards come to life.
