Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and the Rolling Stones spent more than seven minutes in heaven together on their new song, and now they've finally shared its sweet sounds with the world — including a new vocal style from Gaga unlike anything you've heard from her before.

Released Thursday as the second single from the Stones' upcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" features bluesy, gospel-tinged vocals from Gaga, with Wonder taking the whole group to church on the keyboard.

The singers trade vocals through the song, with Mick Jagger crooning about hearing the sounds of heaven drifting down to meet him on earth and Gaga providing soaring riffs behind him, all amid a lush, powerful arrangement of guitars, saxophone, and drums.

Stones member Ronnie Wood previously praised Gaga's vocals as "really sweet" in an interview with Jimmy Fallon that confirmed the project was in the works.

"She was sitting on the floor in the studio, and Mick said, 'Don't just sit there and hum. Get up. Let's record this.' She's lovely. She's very talented," Wood said in a separate Sky News interview at the event after noting that they were recording separate projects in the same area and decided to team up for the Hackney Diamonds session.

Added Wood, "Stevie's just so wonderful to watch."

"Sweet Sound of Heaven" is not the first time Gaga and the Stones have collaborated. The Joker 2: Folie à Deux actress joined the English band on stage during a December 2012 stop on the 50 & Counting tour to sing a cover of the 1969 single "Gimme Shelter," from their Let It Bleed album.

The new song is the latest in Gaga's ballooning roster of tunes recorded with classic rock acts. She released a version of "Your Song" with Elton John after the 2009 Grammys (before tapping him for her 2020 Chromatica song "Sine From Above") and joined Metallica for a rendition of "Moth Into Flame" at the 2017 Grammys.

Hackney Diamonds is out Oct. 20. Listen to the Rolling Stones, Wonder, and Gaga on "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" above.
