\u201cI love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues,\u201d Mick Jagger said in a statement. \u201cWe had 14 great tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it\u2019s not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stones also worked closely with Oscar-winning pop producer Andrew Watt (known for his work with Post Malone<\/a> and Justin Bieber<\/a>, and the Stones\u2019 Hackney Diamonds, to name a few).<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tA taste of \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Speculation surrounding a new Stones album has been going around for weeks. First, posters appeared around London with the band name \u201cThe Cockroaches,\u201d a pseudonym the Stones\u2019 have used in the past, along with a QR code. The code led to \u2018thecockroaches.com\u2019 and a sign-up page. Once a user had signed up, they received a confirmation message from Universal Music \u2014 the Stones\u2019 label. Representatives did not provide The Associated Press with comment or confirmation at the time.<\/p>\n

Eventually it led to a white label, vinyl-only release of the track Rough and Twisted using The Cockroaches name \u2014 the first true tease of Foreign Tongues decipherable only by their most dedicated fans.<\/p>\n

Then, in the week leading up to their announcement, billboards with the band\u2019s iconic mouth and tongue logo began appearing in major cities around the world with the words \u201cForeign Tongues\u201d in various languages: \u201cFremmede Sprog,\u201d \u201cVreemde Tongen,\u201d \u201cDayuhang Dila,\u201d \u201c\uc678\uad6d\uc5b4,\u201d and \u201cLangues \u00c9trang\u00e8res\u201d among them.

On Sunday, the band shared a slide puzzle graphic<\/a> fans believed to be the album artwork, depicting a cartoonish collage of the members\u2019 faces. (They were correct; it was the official album cover.) There was also a short video clip, just 10-seconds long, that appeared to tease a new song.<\/p>\n
