Mick Jagger shares his thoughts on modern music: from Geese to Rosalía

Mick Jagger, frontman of the Rolling Stones, has shared his thoughts on the state of contemporary pop music, offering a mix of admiration and skepticism. According to NME, Jagger praised American rock band Geese for their experimental approach and celebrated Spanish artist Rosalía for her conceptual album 'Lux'.

The compliments come with a catch, though. Jagger apparently also made clear that he thinks a large chunk of modern music simply isn't up to scratch. He reportedly said that these days there are loads of releases he would flat out describe as rubbish. It's a statement that fits right in with the reputation of the now 80 year old singer as someone who rarely keeps his opinions to himself.

For music lovers, it's interesting to see which names Jagger does find worthy of his appreciation. Geese, a relatively young band from New York, are known for a sound that pushes the boundaries between genres. Rosalía has already earned international recognition on multiple occasions for her distinctive blend of flamenco and avant garde pop. Having an icon like Jagger mention them by name is undoubtedly a pretty special shoutout for both artists.
