Ozzy Osbourne Teams With Billy Morrison And Steve Stevens For New Song

22 March 2024

"I guess the way that your love makes me feel/Must mean I'm really addicted," sings Ozzy Osbourne on "Crack Cocaine," the newly released track out yesterday (March 21) from Billy Morrison's new solo album The Morrison Project that's due April 19 via The Label Group.

This seismic collaboration also features Steve Stevens on guitar and was co-written by Morrison, Osbourne, and Stevens who all appear in the video with Paris Jackson playing the glamorous/romantic interest, with cameos from visual artist Risk and actor Jeff Hilliard.

"Crack Cocaine" marks the first new song with Ozzy on vocals since the 2022 release of his worldwide smash album Patient Number 9 which earned him two Grammy Awards ("Best Rock Album," "Best Metal Performance").

Billy-the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter primarily known as Billy Idol's rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens-sheds more light on the song's origins: "The music was a direct result of sitting in a room with Steve, both with de-tuned guitars, and writing what we felt was an ultimate Ozzy riff. From there, we brought Ozzy over, and we all sat around working on the lyrics, but 90% of those came from Ozzy himself. He's the one that suddenly stood up and sang "Like Crack Cocaine"!! We looked at each other and knew we had the title!!"
