The Rolling Stones are sharing a new preview to their upcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, and it's one of their prime collaborations.
Across the band's social media channels, fans can hear a preview of "Sweet Sounds of Heaven." The track features Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga. The teaser can be heard below, and the full track is set for release on September 28.
Getting Lady Gaga on the track was a happy accident and a little bit of luck. Per Rolling Stone, Gaga and the Stones were at the same recording studio at the same time working on new music. The pop star asked if she could stop by and say hello. During this session, the band was working on the song "Sweet Sounds of Heaven," which also features Wonder on keyboards.
Mick Jagger said, "She just walked in, in front of me, and she just curled up in a ball in front of me on the floor, and then someone gave her a mic, and she started singing 'oohs' and 'ahs.'"
Ronnie Wood added, "And Mick said, ‘Well, come on in. Stand up. Let’s make a thing of this then. Let’s do it properly.'"
As previously reported, other guests on Hackney Diamonds include Paul McCartney, original Stones bassist Bill Wyman and Elton John. McCartney plays on "Bite My Head Off," while Wyman and John play bass and piano, respectively, on "Live by the Sword"
Hackney Diamonds comes out on October 20. A full track list for the album is below, and it's available for pre-order in a variety of formats at RollingStones.com.

Rolling Stones: Their 50 Best Songs Ranked
The Rolling Stones, nearly six decades after first forming, remain one of the most popular bands in the world.
From the '60s to the present, the Stones' catalog features some of rock's most iconic and influential tracks of all time. In celebration of "The World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band," here are the Rolling Stones' 50 best songs ranked.
What's New with the Rolling Stones?
The Rolling Stones have an eventful 2024 ahead of them. The iconic band will be hitting the road in North America in support of their latest album, Hackney Diamonds, which was released in October 2023. Their 2024 tour dates are as follows:
Hackney Diamonds, of course, was their first studio album of original material since 2005's A Bigger Bang. The Stones announced the album in a press conference in September 2023 hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
During the press conference, Mick Jagger said of the album, "We wouldn’t be putting this out now if we didn’t really like it. We didn’t want to make just any record and put it out. So we wanted to make a record."
Jagger added, "Before we went in, we said we all want to make a record that we really love, ourselves. People may like it, other people may not. But we must say this, we are quite pleased with it. … We hope you’ll like it."
Hackney Diamonds features some big guests. Ronnie Wood said during the presser that Lady Gaga sings on the track "Sweet Sounds of Heaven." He also dropped Stevie Wonder's name but didn't specify what track he'd be on. Late drummer Charlie Watts is featured on two tracks with one of them being "Live By the Sword."
Keith Richards provides vocals on "Tell Me Straight." He playfully said of the song, "I can tell you straight that I have no idea what it's about. He [pointing to Jagger] tried to steal it, so it must be good."
