The Rolling Stones have announced their new album, "Foreign Tongues," set for release on July 10. The rock band celebrated the upcoming 14-track album at a launch party held at St. Clement hotel in London on Wednesday night, attended by band members, family, and friends.
Sir Mick Jagger, 82, sported a vibrant pink suit, while bandmate Ronnie Wood, 79, also made an appearance. Georgia May Jagger, 34, was seen in a classic little black dress, joining the festivities celebrating her father's new musical venture. IMAGE4
"Foreign Tongues" was recorded in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with the band reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who previously worked on their 2023 album "Hackney Diamonds." IMAGE5
"I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis," Sir Mick said of the process. "It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could."
Keith Richards, 82, added, "The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated punch."
The album will feature a posthumous appearance from late drummer Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions are expected from guest artists including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. IMAGE9
"Foreign Tongues" follows "Hackney Diamonds," which was released less than three years ago and achieved multi-platinum success. The lead single, "In The Stars," is scheduled for digital release on May 5, alongside the album's opening track, "Rough and Twisted." IMAGE8
The album's cover art is a painting by artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn, featuring a caricatured face incorporating elements from the band members.
"Foreign Tongues" will be available in various formats, including CD, cassette, vinyl, and special box sets.
