Ozzy Osbourne Puts a Twist on ‘Crack Cocaine’ in New Music Video Starring Paris Jackson
See Ozzy Osbourne and Paris Jackson in the new music video for "Crack Cocaine," with Billy Morrison.
The song begins with a jangly blues guitar lick before kicking into a doomy metal riff that sounds custom built for Osbourne’s voice. “You just control me.” And then the lyrics make sense in the chorus: “Loving you is driving me insane/I put you down and pick you up again … like crack cocaine.” It’s a punch line that perfectly fits Osbourne’s persona, and the musicians say it came about naturally. It didn’t make sense releasing it just by itself, so I took some of the music that I’d written in Covid, and I got a few more friends and made this album.” The album also features guest appearances by Idol, D.M.C., Ministry’s Al Jourgensen, Steve Vai, and Linda Perry, among others.
