Eric Clapton releases new protest song 'This Has Gotta Stop’

Acclaimed singer-songwriter/guitar great Eric Clapton has just released the protest song "This Has Gotta Stop." In the song, Clapton protests continuing lockdowns and restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

""Enough is enough / I can't take this BS any longer" he sings early in the song. "I've been around a long, long time / Seen it all and I'm used to being free."

The reggae-styled track was penned by Clapton, produced by his long-time producing partner Simon Climie and features Clapton along with Sonny Emery (drums), Nathan East (bass), and Sharon White (backing vocals).

Clapton's stance has been clear since he joined forces with Van Morrison in December 2020 on the song "Stand and Deliver" to protest the British government's restrictions related to the coronavirus.
