Overview
- The Rolling Stones, which announced their 25th studio album on Tuesday, set a July 10 release for Foreign Tongues and issued the digital single In the Stars alongside opener Rough and Twisted.
- The album was recorded in under a month at London’s Metropolis Studios with producer Andrew Watt, continuing the team-up behind 2023’s Hackney Diamonds.
- A final session by late drummer Charlie Watts appears on the record, while Steve Jordan handles drums on the rest of the tracks.
- Guest turns include Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, with core collaborators Darryl Jones and Matt Clifford also contributing.
- Following weeks of teasers — a Cockroaches white‑label vinyl, multilingual billboards and a cover‑art puzzle — Jagger, Richards and Wood hosted a Brooklyn launch event, with a physical In the Stars single due May 15 and wide physical editions to follow.
