The Rolling Stones issued "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" on 28 September 2023, the second single off Hackney Diamonds, and it's the band reaching for the rafters: a gospel-soaked blend of rock and soul that builds across some seven minutes to a long vocal duel between Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, with Stevie Wonder playing piano and assorted keyboards.
More than one critic heard "Gimme Shelter" in it, with Gaga stepping into the part Merry Clayton played on that 1969 track, and the notices were warm; several reviewers singled it out as one of the album's high points.
