The Rolling Stones drop new song “Jealous Lover”

The Rolling Stones have just dropped their latest single “Jealous Lover,” accompanied by a music video directed by Chris Barrett & Luke Taylor and featuring Anya Taylor-Joy & Charles Melton. This track is part of their upcoming album, “Foreign Tongues,” set to be released on July 10th under Capitol Records. The exclusive video can be viewed on Amazon Music.

“Jealous Lover” brings a unique blend of musical styles from the Rolling Stones. Unlike their previous hit “In The Stars,” which exuded upbeat pop-rock energy, this new song delves into a soulful R&B vibe that showcases Mick Jagger’s falsetto lead vocals. Drawing from their deep-rooted connection with rhythm and blues, the track combines infectious melodies, masterful musicianship, and witty lyrical content.

In the song, Jagger sings a cautionary tale to an overly curious lover, injecting humor, attitude, and vivid imagery into the narrative. The seamless interplay of Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood on guitars drives the melodic essence of the song, while the rhythm section comprising Darryl Jones on bass and Steve Jordan on drums and percussion sets a deep, steady groove. The addition of Steve Winwood’s distinct Rhodes and organ textures, along with contributions from producer Andrew Watt and keyboardist Matt Clifford, enrich the song’s warm, soulful sound.

“Jealous Lover” not only underscores the band’s enduring chemistry and creativity after more than six decades in the industry but also showcases their ability to blend classic influences with a contemporary flair. This single stands as a testament to the Rolling Stones’ musical evolution and their unwavering commitment to delivering top-tier performances.

Accompanying the release of “Jealous Lover,” Episode 1 of The Rolling Stones podcast series, “Speaking In Tongues,” is now available on various podcast platforms.
