Am I being politically optimistic?... No.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although <strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong> together with the <strong>Rolling Stones<\/strong> a few months ago the worldwide acclaimed album <strong>\"Blue and Lonesome\"<\/strong> and has conquered the charts around the globe - in Germany there were <strong>3x platinum and number 1 in the Official German Album Charts<\/strong> - he was drawn back to the studio: <i>\"I started writing the two songs in April and wanted to release them right away. Making a whole album often takes a lot of time. It's always refreshing to be able to be creative in a different way, and I feel a little taken back to a different time when you were a little freer and recorded something and put it out right away. I didn't want to wait until next year when the songs might lose their impact and meaning.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About <strong>\"England Lost\"<\/strong> says <strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong>: <i>\"On the surface, it's about a lost soccer match by the English team, but when I wrote the title, I knew it would be about much more. And that is about the feeling that we are at a difficult moment in our history. It's about the incomprehensibility of having reached this point and the uncertainty that is felt. That's how I felt when I wrote the song. Although it has a dose of humor to it, because I don't like anything that's too obvious, it also describes a certain state of vulnerability that we're in as a country right now.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About <strong>\"Gotta Get A Grip\"<\/strong> says <strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong>: <i>\"I think the message is that despite all the things that are happening right now, you need to move on with your life and be yourself - trying to take control of your own destiny.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Inspirations include not only current topics, but also many current artists and their releases. What listens <strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong> so at the moment? <i>\"I listen to everything from R&amp;B to pop and weird remixes of old and new, and then I make my random playlists like everyone else. Most recently I added Kendrick Lamar, Skepta, Mozart, Howlin' Wolf, Tame Impala and obscure Prince tracks as well as The Valentine Brothers. I really like Kendrick Lamar a lot. He talks about discontent and gets to the heart of it.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong> is still on top of the times, which is proven not only by the original versions of the two tracks but also by another digital EP called <strong>\"Reimagined\"<\/strong>. On it are four remixes of <strong>\"Gotta Get A Grip\"<\/strong> - among others from <strong>Tame Impalas' Kevin Parker<\/strong> and <strong>Seeb<\/strong> - as well as a feature from <strong>\"England Lost\"<\/strong> with Mercury Prize winner and grime artist <strong>Skepta<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\"Gotta Get A Grip\"<\/strong> and <strong>\"England Lost\"<\/strong> are now available for download.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mick Jagger<\/strong> is in the fall together with the <strong>Rolling Stones<\/strong> on tour in Germany.
