Here’s Sweet Sound Of Heaven for you
The first recension with a 5 star rating I have seen comes from The Telegraph : “The Rolling Stones, Sweet Sound of Heaven, review: Jagger and Gaga on astonishing, exultant form – Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder help push the Stones to heights they haven’t reached in decades for this soulful, gospel riposte to old age“
Rolling Stone writes: “Rousing gospel number comes off of upcoming Stones album, Hackney Diamonds“
This here is the lyric video with only 5:07 but let’s see …

This is a masterwork by the Stones. So much energy & beauty in all aspects of the song. Bravo to Mick on his vocals with Lady Gaga, who brings her own style of Mary Clayton. Stevie Wonder’s piano and keyboard work is fantastic. Big salute to Keith & Ronnie for their guitar & bass work.
The internet has blown up over this song. This one is an official member of the classic Rolling Stones’ songbook. The first time you hear it delivers those once in a lifetime moments of sheer bliss of discovery of something unique & new, yet familiar in a wonderful way. An instant masterpiece for the Stones. What a great gift for the world to enjoy.
Love to read about the experience in Lady Gaga’s own words. Feels like i am right in that studio and witness the scene! 🙂

In case someone here hasn’t direct access to Insta or something, here’s what Lady Gaga wrote:
WOW ! Thank you Mick, thank you Keith, thank you Ronnie. And most of all, thank you Charlie. Forever and ever in sweet sound of Heaven.
