A song written in full lockdown for a great artist like him could not be missing. And so among the typical hard sounds of his usual rock Mick Jagger has given a new unreleased to his many fans. A “Sicilian” song as it was renamed. Because the leader of Rolling Stoine decided, last year, to spend the long months of the pandemic in Sicily, as a guest of some friends on an estate in Noto. A land that apparently the rock star loves and that when possible try to visit. Trying to go unnoticed. Although the images of this special guest have often been disseminated on social networks. The brand of Jagger entitled “Eazy Sleazy” is an irreverent account of this long one lockdown. In his own way, with tough but convincing tones, like the video posted on social media.
Mick Jagger and the reflection on the pandemic
The song published on Mick Jagger's social channels immediately had a great success. Written in collaboration with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters on drums, guitar and bass and produced by Matt Clifford. “Eazy Sleazy” has a satirical message. The singer meditates in his own way, with a lot of sarcasm, on this period that we are all experiencing. A life changed for everyone and characterized by "zoom calls", "poncey books", "fake applause", "too much TV". And again “canceled tours”, infection charts to check, not having anything new to wear, masks, stupid dances on TikTok.
And it was he himself, presenting the passage, who explained its meaning. "It's a song I wrote to get out of isolation - clarified Mick Jagger -, with that optimism that is needed. Thanks to Dave Grohl for playing drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with him. Hope you like Eazy Sleazy". And Grohl thanking Sir Mick for this collaboration considers "Eazy Sleazy" "the song of the summer".
Jagger's long year in Sicily
The Rolling Stones leader would have moved to Sicily last summer, along with his wife Melanie Hamrick and their young son. Paparazzi by those who had the chance fortune to meet him in the seaside villages of Brucoli and Marzamemi, in the province of Syracuse. At Christmas then the photo with a typical Christmas sweater taken among the cacti, apparently a guest of an estate of the Marquises of San Giuliano, had gone around the web. But it seems that Noto is his favorite destination, a guest of some friends on an estate in Castelluccio. But among the special visits by undisturbed tourist, Mick Jagger spotted ad Agrigento between the cathedral and the temples. And again recently a Palermo where, together with the president of the regional assembly, he visited the Norman Palace and the Palatine Chapel. Jagger loves Italy. Spotted others times visiting our peninsula.
And so are many Sicilian Rolling Stones fans who have hoped to cross it. But the place where the singer is with his family remains reserved. From the same video that apparently was shot in Noto we see very little. Dave Grohl was instead connected from the United States. As if to make fun of a remote working method so well known to everyone in this last year.
Whether Sicily was a source of inspiration, or simply the pandemic matters little. Mick Jagger's rock is unique and this new unreleased proves it which in a few days has conquered the rankings.
