The Rolling Stones<\/a> team up with Brazilian DJ Alok for a bouncy remix of the band\u2019s surprise new song \u201cLiving in a Ghost Town<\/a>,\u201d their first original track in eight years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the bluesy track was released in response to the coronavirus quarantine, Alok applies a buoyant dance music sheen and propulsive beat to \u201cLiving in a Ghost Town,\u201d while still preserving the song\u2019s more spectral elements, like the disembodied oh-oh-oh-ohs and Jagger\u2019s Morricone-like harmonica.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alok also hinted at a colorful new video for the collaboration via Twitter:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things,\u201d Jagger previously said of \u201cLiving in a Ghost Town,\u201d which he and Keith Richards penned over a year ago. \u201cIt was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak\u2026I was just jamming on the guitar and wrote it really quickly in like 10 minutes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The socially distanced band, via video, performed \u201cYou Can\u2019t Always Get What You Want\u201d<\/a> as part of Global Citizen\u2019s Together at Home livestream.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rolling Stones also recently launched their Extra Licks livestream series<\/a>, focusing on the bonus performances from the band\u2019s many concert films; this Sunday\u2019s installment will present rare performances from the Stones\u2019 2015 Sticky Fingers<\/em> gig at the Fonda Theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n
