Back to the Future with the Rolling Stones

In a thrilling crossover of old and new, the Rolling Stones have unveiled their music video for “In the Stars,” featuring actress Odessa A'zion and deepfake technology that de-ages band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood to their youthful selves. Directed by Francois Rousselet, the video presents a surreal live performance that packs a punch and celebrates the band's iconic mystique.

A Dance Through Time

Set against the backdrop of a lively house party, the Stones, in their rejuvenated digital personas, belt out their new track, creating an intoxicating blend of classic rock energy and modern cinematic flair. Odessa's dance moves evoke the legendary Jagger swagger, proving she can effortlessly channel rock royalty. In her own words, A'zion described this opportunity as, “a dream come true,” highlighting her lifelong obsession with the Stones since her childhood days of listening to *Tattoo You*.

“Are you kidding me? It's my dream,” A'zion exclaimed, encapsulating the thrill this partnership brings not just to her but to fans as well.
