The Rolling Stones have released two new lyric videos for two of their songs, 1968s Jumpin’ Jack Flash and its B Side Child of The Moon.
Both tracks have been rereleased as singles on the same day as the videos are revealed, remastered by 12-time Grammy-award winning Bob Ludwig, and the videos designed by London creative design company Yes Please productions, who work primarily within the music industry.
Rolling Stoney quotes Yes Please Productions’ directors Tom Readdy and Lucy Dawkings, who said that “With ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ being among the greatest Rock ‘n Roll singles of all time we knew we had to create a visual that somehow matched the swagger and excitement of the track…With that guitar riff and Jagger’s exceptional searing vocal we set out to create animations that hit and emphasized every beat, guitar part and syllable sung.”
The Jumpin Jack Flash video features a simple red and black based colour palette with hand-sketched elements to create an ‘energetic visual’ which matches the song’s adrenaline, while the visual for Child of The Moon is designed with a swinging 60s aesthetic, with plenty of psychedelic-style flowers and trippy transitions, the lyrics appearing on screen as if growing there. The lyrics are written in the same typeface originally used on a 7” picture sleeve for the two songs back when they were originally released.
The classic Jumpin’ Jack Flash was a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards creation, the original recording produced at Olympic Studios in London and featuring all five members of the band, including Keither Richards on bass as well as lead guitar. Child of the Moon followed suit, also produced by Jimmy Miller at Olympic records and featuring Brian Jones on Saxophone.
