The Rolling Stones dropped the official music video for “Jealous Lover” today, and they brought in some real talent to make it count. Actress Anya Taylor-Joy and artist melton both star in the clip. The video is live now, exclusively on the Amazon Music app.
The band announced it on Instagram, with a direct caption: “The official music video for Jealous Lover is out now, starring @anyataylorjoy and @melton – watch first, exclusively in the @AmazonMusic app.” The post drew more than 270,000 likes. For a band active since 1962, they still know how to stop a scroll.
Anya Taylor-Joy has had a strong few years in film. She turned Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit,” a chess drama, into a global cultural moment. Strong film roles followed in “The Menu” and Robert Eggers’ “The Northman.” Her most recent big screen appearance was as the young Furiosa in George Miller’s 2024 prequel “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” She’s built a reputation for picking projects that are visually distinct and a little unexpected. A Rolling Stones music video fits right in with that.
Melton is earlier in the career arc. Getting a co-starring role in a Rolling Stones visual is a serious moment for a newer artist. Sharing a visual with a band this size opens doors.
The Amazon Music exclusive is part of a broader trend of platform partnerships tied to major releases. For now, the Amazon Music app is the only place to watch the clip. The video will likely land on other platforms in the days ahead.
The Rolling Stones have been a cornerstone of rock for more than 60 years. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood put out “Hackney Diamonds” in 2023. It was their first studio album of original material in 18 years. It debuted at number one in the UK and several other countries. Critical reception was warm. The album made a strong case that the Stones had more to say creatively, not just more dates to tour.
“Jealous Lover” and its video keep that forward motion going. Bringing Taylor-Joy in as the visual’s lead signals real thought went into how to frame the song. Including melton alongside her adds a generational angle. It makes the video feel like something more than a standard rollout.
Fans reacted quickly. The combination of one of rock’s most enduring acts and an actress with genuine film credibility draws multiple audiences at once. That kind of crossover makes for a good day to be a Stones fan.
The video is out now on Amazon Music. Worth the visit.
