Overview
- The Rolling Stones released Foreign Tongues on July 10, 2026, billed as their 25th studio album and available on vinyl, CD and digital formats.
- The record was recorded at Metropolis Studios in London with producer Andrew Watt, who has worked with younger pop stars and helped contemporize the band's sound.
- Credits list notable guests including Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, Steve Winwood, Bruno Mars and the late Charlie Watts, though some reviewers say those contributions are barely audible in the mixes.
- Critical reaction is split, with outlets such as France Inter praising the album's blues roots and energy while Sud Ouest called it uneven and largely unnecessary in the Stones' catalogue.
- Promotion included an AI‑altered video for the single 'In the Stars' that digitally de‑ages the band, and the group has said they are not closed to touring again in 2027 though no tour is confirmed.
