Doom And Gloom

This hard-rocking, Louisiana bluesy number is one of two brand new songs taken from the Rolling Stones' hits collection, GRRR!. It finds Mick Jagger railing about various travails and was recorded in Paris and produced by Don Was. The French session marked the first time Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood had been in the studio together since completing A Bigger Bang seven years previously. The song received its first airplay at 8.15am (BST) on BBC Radio 2 when DJ Chris Evans played it twice, back to back.

This was the first original Rolling Stones song to chart on the UK singles chart in nearly six and a half years. Their previous entry was "Biggest Mistake," which peaked at #51 in June 2006.

Jonas Akerlund directed the song's music video. The longtime Madonna visual collaborator filmed the footage of the Stones playing behind closed doors in a Paris warehouse, while they were rehearsing for their 50th anniversary shows. The apocalyptic clip stars Noomi Rapace, who we see having a series of bizarre and violent dreams as she sleeps next door to The Stones. The Swedish actress is best known for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander in the trilogy: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, as well as the lead role of Dr. Elizabeth Shaw in the Ridley Scott science fiction film Prometheus.
