The Rolling Stones have teamed up with Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder on a new song.
"Sweet Sounds of Heaven" appears on the Rolling Stones' forthcoming album, Hackney Diamonds.
In a post on Instagram, Gaga said she was in the studio preparing for her film Joker: Folie i Deux when Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger invited her to join the band, Wonder and music producer Andrew Watt at a studio down the hall.
"We hung out for a bit listening to music and catching up. Mick then asked if I'd hang in the live room while they cut another record. I sat down on the floor, my back against a Rhodes-someone handed me some headphones and eventually a mic," Gaga recalled. "Mick was towering over me smiling saying 'go on and do your thing then.' I listened to the music and scribbled furiously trying to learn the tune and then freestyled and sang along."
"We played for a few hours and everyone was so excited having me there (this felt so exciting if not slightly insane)," she said. "I went home not thinking much of it, I loved the song and all the musicians but I thought we were just hangin. Andrew texted me the next day saying Mick wanted to cut the vocals WITH me that night-the way he'd cut them back in the day. Same room, two mics. Single takes."Gaga said she "sang in a way I never really sang before except for with Mick" during the recording.
"And Andrew and I both cried-there's something about witnessing music history and when you get to be a part of it I think that's exactly what our heaven feels like. It's just a sweet sound," she concluded her post.
