The Rolling Stones are set to release their highly anticipated 25th studio album, "Foreign Tongues," on July 10, as announced on Tuesday. The rock legends are following up on their 2023 release, "Hackney Diamonds," which topped charts worldwide.
Album Details:
The new album comes less than three years after "Hackney Diamonds," which marked the band's return after an 18-year hiatus. The Stones debuted a new single titled "In The Stars," along with an Instagram video showing Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood in the studio.
At a recent promotional event in New York hosted by Conan O’Brien, the trio shared insights on their creative process. Mick Jagger emphasized that while they’re still having fun, the music also requires deep concentration. During the event, O’Brien praised Jagger’s powerful vocals, even joking about his secret to maintaining such strength over the years.
Guest Appearances and Speculation:
"Foreign Tongues" will feature appearances by legendary musicians such as Paul McCartney and Robert Smith of The Cure. This announcement comes shortly after the band’s cryptic vinyl single release under the alias The Cockroaches.
No Tour, but Excitement Builds:
While the Rolling Stones did not confirm a tour for the album, their fans are eagerly anticipating new material, and speculations about a concert tour have been swirling. However, considering the band members’ age, the logistics of touring were reportedly discussed but ultimately dismissed for health reasons.
The Rolling Stones' legacy continues as they remain icons in rock history, keeping the magic alive with new music and star-studded collaborations.
