Queens of the Stone Age have released a new song called \u201cEasy Street.\u201d<\/p>\n

You may recognize the track if you caught Josh Homme and company on their Catacombs tour, during which they first premiered \u201cEasy Street\u201d live in 2025.<\/p>\n

The official studio version has now arrived and features guest vocals from Nikki Lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a funny song. It\u2019s like hitting your funny bone, where it\u2019s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it\u2019s funny. You\u2019re serious, but it\u2019s funny,\u201d Homme says in a statement. \u201cWe made it the way you\u2019d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren\u2019t great, but they\u2019re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can\u2019t fake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about silliness,\u201d Homme adds. \u201cIt\u2019s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can watch the \u201cEasy Street\u201d video streaming on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEasy Street\u201d follows QotSA\u2019s 2023 album,\u00a0In Times New Roman\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n

Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour in Europe with System of a Down. They\u2019ll be touring the U.S. with Foo Fighters starting in August.<\/p>\n

Homme, meanwhile, recently released collaborations with Mastodon and Shania Twain.<\/p>\n
