<\/p>\nOn Tuesday, May 5th, The Rolling Stones hosted a special launch event in New York City for their brand new studio album Foreign Tongues, arriving July 10th from Polydor\/Universal Music.<\/p>\n
Check out a video highlight reel of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood attending the media launch, hosted by late-night talk show host and comedian Conan O\u2019Brien:<\/p>\n
Foreign Tongues is an incredibly vibrant 14-track collection that follows less than three years after the band\u2019s universally acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, which topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum success. The new album will be introduced by the upbeat and infectious lead single \u201cIn The Stars\u201d, released digitally alongside the album\u2019s opening track \u201cRough And Twisted\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn The Stars\u201d receives a physical release on May 15th. Stream the single here<\/a>, and check out a lyric video below. You can also listen to the above-mentioned \u201cRough And Twisted\u201d below.<\/p>\n In the lead-up to the announcement, the band have been subtly building anticipation for the new project, including the limited white label release of the track \u201cRough And Twisted\u201d only on vinyl under the name The Cockroaches. Circulating among fans and collectors, the release has already sparked excitement and speculation around the sound and direction of Foreign Tongues, offering an early glimpse into the album\u2019s raw and exploratory energy.<\/p>\n Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, Foreign Tongues was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed Hackney Diamonds. The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band\u2019s unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.<\/p>\n The album features standout performances from Jagger, Richards and Wood, alongside their core collaborators including Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan. It also includes a special appearance from Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions come from an impressive line-up of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure\u2019s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.<\/p>\n Reflecting on the recording process, Mick Jagger said: \u201cI love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We 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 Keith Richards added: \u201cThe 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. To me, it\u2019s all about the enjoyment of it. I\u2019m blessed to be able to do this and long may it last.\u201d<\/p>\n Ronnie Wood commented: \u201cThe atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was on top form throughout the whole process. Very often we nailed it on the first take. I hope everyone loves it.\u201d<\/p>\n The album\u2019s striking cover artwork is a painting created by acclaimed American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn who commented: \u201cCreating the album cover for the Rolling Stones is an artistic honour \u2013 a dialogue with one of the most enduring forces in cultural history.\u201d<\/p>\n Foreign Tongues will be available on a wide range of formats, including CD, deluxe CD editions, cassette, multiple vinyl variants (standard and limited colour pressings), exclusive retailer editions, and special box sets, alongside the single \u201cIn The Stars\u201d on CD and vinyl formats.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/rollingstonesalbulm526-750x750.jpg\")
