As someone who comes from a mix of the 2 cultures that appear in this movie - I see some of this knee jerk reaction being a little - how shall I say it - uncomfortable. Not used to this? Need something a little more ..... "pure", more .... "rock" (what is that anyway)? I have no idea what to expect, but conceptually this is a huge huge chance. Seemingly, it would be exactly what RMers would typically want. You know .... something different or risky, experimental, not the usual. Personally, just the mere description of this project and the band's involvement sent my heart aflutter, only to see some of the above comments which seem a tad iffy. I wonder if it's something related to the "musical" or more ehem (Im just gonna fucking say it here) "ethnic" content. This is actually pointing to my own ethnicity, so I'm gonna take this one a little personally and be more sensitive to it (oversensitive, that's for you to decide). This is certainly a massive curveball from the straight while male workd. The reactions of the RM commenters so far are just a tad disconcerting. I do take note of Ed's Nusrat collaboration, which no one really talks about (good or bad), but which was a massive deal for me personally. I'm saying it, fuckit I don't give a shit.

Apart from any racial insensitivities, I think it's silly to put too much pressure on this song to be some sort of indicator of their next record's sound. It's a paid gig for a specific film. Perhaps the filmmakers are friends of Stone's and he's just helping them out? At any rate, it sounds like this will be a song composed to fit a very specific purpose.

i'm looking forward to the new song, and think that the collaboration with other musicians could spark something in them.
also, why did they specifically call out that it was a song written and produced by Stone? not that i care, just kinda random
This bit of news originated from a photograph someone took of the album artwork; it just listed Stone as the songwriter in the credits, and that he co-produced it with some guys I've never heard of.

Stone as sole author gives me some hope for this. I am going to choose the path of optimism and say that his underwhelming contributions to PJ on "Backspacer" and "Lightning Bolt" were because he was keeping the good stuff back for "Moonlander," which rules.
This is depressingly true.

For my part my assumptions of negativity here are in no way ethnically motivated, my expectations are purely based on the reality of the most recent PJ tunes to come to light.
I really hope this is great. But like they say, hope for the best, plan for the worst.
