Technology has no limits. You can chat with friends from anywhere. Create virtual worlds. Become famous without ever leaving your living room. And Mick Jagger records a great new song “Strange Game” with his iPhone. Ultimateclassicrock.com posted about the new release. The song was recorded for the show “Slow Horses” starring Gary Oldman on Apple TV+.

“Slow Horses” is about a group of both disgraced and demoted spies that now work for MI5 (So MI6 is where James Bond is from and thus these agents are just not as cool?). The show is based on a series of novels by Mick Herron.

Daniel Pemberton, Emmy winning composer and songwriter, worked with Mick to create the new song. “Working with Mick Jagger has been one of the most exciting collaborations of my professional career,” song co-writer Daniel Pemberton said in a press release. “I think we have managed to create an incredibly unique and original [title] theme.”

Jagger was already a fan of the books before he was even approached about the song, “It’s a quite popular series of books, so I knew what it was about,” the singer told Variety. “I knew the vibe really well, so as soon as he sent the track to me, I just dashed off a few pages of notes of what I thought it was about. It came very, very quickly, which is always a good sign.”

Pemberton played Mick a basic guitar part via Zoom. Mick recorded the rest of the song with his iPhone. This is perfect considering the show is on Apple TV+. “I just recorded it on my iPhone and sent it to him, and he loved it,” the Rolling Stones singer said. “And then we had to do a bit of crafting, trying to get a chorus, calling it ‘Strange Game’ and trying to get the verses from the point of view of the main character. ... It’s quite irreverent, but the Gary Oldman character is irreverent. It’s also slightly eerie, so it combines those two things. You don’t want to make it too serious.”

And without any further wait, enjoyStrange Game”.
