Who's on backing voc on Mess It Up?
A gospel choir is involved according to this review..
"And “Mess It Up,” although edging closer to corny than anything else here, in the end makes good use of both a gospel choir and a disco beat. (“You think I’d mess it up, mess it up, mess it up all for you?” Jagger sings to an aspiring mistress who, per the lyrics, seduced his landlord and broke into his residence. We know it’s fiction because there’s no way Jagger rents any of his many homes.)"

I seem to recall that Mick does, in fact, rent out his place in Mustique.

Do either of you know if Chuck Leavell was involved in the album?
When the album is released, the credits will also be available.

I understand some want to talk about songs before they are available to the public, but please show some respect. The majority of fans do not yet have access to the album, so reports about songs not yet available to the public is really not appropriate, in my opinion.
This thread will be closed tomorrow afternoon, and separate threads will be opened, when the album is out for the public Friday morning. I don't really see the point in reporting on songs that 90% of the fans have not yet got access to legally.

I'm on holiday so can't listen to the album until i return, is there a link to any tracks other than the two singles, itchin to hear Keith's track's but not expecting much from the rest of the album due to comments already made about Micks voice too high in the mix again. Hopefully it's not as nasal and irritating as the past few albums.

From what I have gathered, neither Chuck or Darryl are on the album. But we'll see.

Not sure what you are asking, all I can say is Mick on Exile was a good combination of Mick singing into the songs as opossed to singing over them.
From what Andrew Watt said Mick sang over all Keith's playing after Keith finished his music, so are we to hear Mick effectively singing Karaoke.
Just noticed Keith only singing for 2 minutes on one song so looks like he's completely lost his grip on all things Rolling Stones, it is what it is, hopefully it's a great Jagger solo album like Wondering Spirit.

Autotune and other studio effects // Mick voice.

Watt said Jagger laid down his final vocals once everything else was in place. Much as Jagger did back with Tattoo You, so I'd say it was nonsense to suggest Mick's contribution here is just karaoke. Also, Keith Richards is all over the album, with a lot of harmony vocals for one, and the detailing of the guitars, the riffs, the rhythms, is fantastic. Jagger may have brought most of them in, but Richards raised them right up.
As for autotune style tech, you do hear bits here and there, as well as quite a bit of nice double tracking, and they both achieve a similar kind of fuzziness, rfemionds me of mid 70s Glam TBH.

Spotify or a streaming service will be your best friend at Friday 20th and during your holiday

HMV delivered this morning. Played the CD on the way to work. Only listened to first seven tracks but what I have heard is amazing.
