Eric Clapton promised some extra holiday pleasure Friday by releasing an upcoming track named “Heart of a Child,” co-written by Clapton and his friend and fellow vaccine skeptic Robin Monotti, after successfully preventing a German widow from selling the bootleg CD of her late husband.
The song will be released on December 24, and while the lyrics aren’t as overtly about Covid-19 as Van Morrison’s new songs, there are strong undertones to the anti-lockdown and vaccine-hesitant viewpoints that Clapton has connected with during the pandemic.
Clapton also provided the borderline Banksy-infringing artwork for the track.
