Mick Jagger unveiled yesterday an exciting surprise for his fans worldwide in the form of the instant release of a track titled “Eazy Sleazy”. The hard-rocking tune written by The Rolling Stones singer in lockdown features Jagger on vocals and guitar in collaboration with Foo Fighters mainman Dave Grohl providing his signature powerhouse drums, guitar and bass too. The song was produced by Jagger’s longtime musical collaborator Matt Clifford, who also produced Mick’s two 2017 songs, “Gotta Get A Grip” and “England Lost”.
The infectious “Eazy Sleazy” is every inch a song of our times, full of caged energy, a rock ‘n’ roll attitude and tongue in cheek, satirical messaging. Jagger muses about the life we’ve all been living with deliciously dark sardonic humor. He reflects on a world of “Zoom calls,” “home in these prison walls,” poncey books, fake applause and too much TV. With optimism and change in sight, he looks forward to the world beyond lockdown and the “garden of earthly delights” that lies beyond.
A performance video for “Eazy Sleazy”, produced by Matt Clifford, featuring Jagger at home and Grohl in the Foo Fighters studio, can be seen right below.
