The Rolling Stones have released a behind the scenes look at the making of the video for "Angry," the first single off their new album, Hackney Diamonds.
In it, director François Rousselet says he got the idea for billboards of the Stones on Hollywood's Sunset Strip coming to life from the 2016 book, Rock 'n' Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip by Robert Landau.
His goal was to "put into perspective how great they have been through the decades.”
The video also contains an interview with 26-year old actress Sydney Sweeney who is seen gyrating to the song while being driven down the Sunset Strip on the back of a red 1980s Mercedes 450 SL.
Rousselet says she was chosen because she's "one of the cool, new faces of this generation,” having recently starred as Olivia Mossbacher in season one of The White Lotus, as well as her role as Snake in director Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
A second single, "Sweet Sounds of Heaven," featuring Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder, will be out this Friday.
Hackney Diamonds will be released on October 20th.
Keith Richards released his first solo album, Talk Is Cheap, 35 years ago this Tuesday -- September 26th, 1988.
He co-wrote all 11 tracks, and he co-produced the album with drummer Steve Jordan, who now sits behind the kit in The Rolling Stones.
It came together during a period of substantial tension between Keith and Mick Jagger, which Keith says turned out to be an eye-opening experience.
In 2019, Richards reissued the album with six previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded with former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, Bootsy Collins and the late pianist Johnnie Johnson.
The super-deluxe edition also included an 80-page hardcover book with an essay featuring a new interview with Keith, photos, tour laminates, lyric sheets, a reproduction of the Talk Is Cheap playback invite, a guitar pick and two posters.
Richards went on to release two more studio albums -- Main Offender in 1992 and Crosseyed Heart in 2015.
