Rolling Stones unveil “Mr Charm” video and stream “Bad Luck Hideaway”
A new “Mr Charm” video stars Alexander Skarsgård, while “Bad Luck Hideaway” brings a Jagger–Richards duet with Charlie Watts to streaming.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards share the vocal spotlight on “Bad Luck Hideaway,” now available on streaming platforms with Charlie Watts behind the kit.
The track arrived alongside the Rolling Stones’ new “Mr Charm” video on October 1, giving the band’s Foreign Tongues campaign both a new visual and a bonus-track release beyond its earlier digital availability.
A duet with Watts on drums
Universal Music identifies “Bad Luck Hideaway” as a Jagger–Richards duet produced by Andrew Watt, with Watts’s drumming drawn from sessions at British Grove. A lyric video accompanied its streaming arrival.
The duet is the more interesting detail for anyone following the musicians rather than the video casting. With Richards sharing the vocal spotlight, “Bad Luck Hideaway” offers a different point of entry from the new “Mr Charm” film.
Skarsgård stars in “Mr Charm”
The new video stars Alexander Skarsgård, was directed by Henry Scholfield and was filmed in Palmdale, California.
“Mr Charm” comes from Foreign Tongues, released on July 10 through Polydor.
