Queens of the Stone Age releases new song “Easy Street”

Queens of the Stone Age have released “Easy Street,” their first single since the release of In Times New Roman… (2023). The song features country singer Nikki Lane, who duets with Josh Homme. It has not yet been revealed whether the track is a standalone single or will be part of a future album.

Homme talked about the new track, saying: “It’s kind of a funny song. It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny. You’re serious, but it’s funny.”

“We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake. It’s not just about silliness. It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable,” he said.
