Developed over time first seen 1 month ago
The Rolling Stones have released Foreign Tongues (via Polydor/Universal Music), their 25th studio album and the follow-up to the Grammy-winning 2023 record Hackney Diamonds. The 14-track set is available to stream now, marking the continued creative output of a band often described as rock's greatest surviving act.
The album features 12 new compositions — including the previously released "Rough and Twisted," "Jealous Lover" and "In The Stars" — alongside a cover of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" and a closing tribute to Chuck Berry, "Beautiful Delilah." Recorded at Metropolis Studios in West London, it boasts guest contributions from Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith and Chad Smith, plus a track featuring late drummer Charlie Watts from one of his final sessions before his 2021 death. The band could reach double-digit Billboard 200 No. 1s with the release; meanwhile, Jagger has said he would love to tour again but does not expect it to happen this year.

The Rolling Stones are a British rock band formed in London in 1962, with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards among its longest-standing members. Over more than six decades they have built a reputation as one of the most enduring acts in rock music, releasing dozens of albums and touring extensively, even as the band's line-up has changed over the years, including the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts in 2021.
Their most recent studio album before this one was Hackney Diamonds, released in 2023 to strong reviews and a Grammy win, which was seen as a notable comeback after a long gap without new original material. That album re-established the band as an active creative unit rather than purely a heritage touring act, and set expectations for what might follow it.
Beyond the music itself, there is ongoing interest in whether the band, whose members are now in their eighties, will tour again, given the physical demands of live performance and their age. Any new release is therefore often discussed both on its own musical merits and as a signal of what the group might do next.
