The Rolling Stones have released “Living In A Ghost Town“, the band’s first new material in 8 years. The track is available on digital platforms and is accompanied by a music video seen below.
The new track was written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards and created & recorded in Los Angeles, London and in isolation with all members that also includes Charlie Watts (drums), Ronnie Wood (guitar/backing vocals), Darryl Jones (bass) Matt Clifford (keyboards, french horn, sax, flugelhorn).
On the new song, the band comments:
Mick- ‘‘So the Stones were in the studio recording some new material before the lockdown and there was one song we thought would resonate through the times that we’re living in right now. We’ve worked on it in isolation. And here it is – It’s called ‘Living in Ghost Town’ – I hope you like it”
Keith- “So, let’s cut a long story short. We cut this track well over a year ago in L.A. for part of a new album, an ongoing thing, and then shit hit the fan Mick and I decided this one really needed to go to work right now and so here you have it , “Living in a Ghost Town”. Stay safe!”
Charlie- “I enjoyed working on this track. I think it captures a mood and I hope people who listen to it will agree.”
Ronnie- “Thanks so much for all your messages these past few weeks, it means so much to us that you enjoy the music. So we have a brand new track for you, we hope you enjoy it. It has a haunting melody, it’s called Living in A Ghost Town.”
