Foreign Tongues

Foreign Tongues is the Rolling Stones’ twenty-fifth British (twenty-seventh American) studio album, released on July 10, 2026, less than three years after their comeback record Hackney Diamonds. Produced again by Andrew Watt, it runs 14 tracks and just over 62 minutes, drawing on sessions held between 2019 and 2026 in Los Angeles and London and blending brand‑new songs with a few leftovers from the Hackney Diamonds era and material from the band’s final 2021 recordings with drummer Charlie Watts. The album is rooted in blues rock and classic Stones songwriting, with the band describing it as capturing “the Rolling Stones sound you know and love”—a mix of blues, country, rock, and Chuck Berry–style riffing—issued across multiple formats including coloured LPs and deluxe box sets.

Musically, Foreign Tongues is an “incredibly vibrant” guitar-driven record that critics say often feels even more band‑centric than Hackney Diamonds. It features joint-ripping rockers like Hit Me in the Head (built on a Watts-era track) and Rough and Twisted, disco-leaning heartbreakers such as Jealous Lover and Never Wanna Lose You, sweeping ballads like Back in Your Life and Keith Richards’ Some of Us, and a Gram Parsons–flavoured country-rock farewell to America in Ringing Hollow. The album also includes a Chuck Berry tribute cover (Beautiful Delilah) and a bold take on Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good, plus standout cut Divine Intervention, where Jagger skewers billionaire doomsday preppers over a bluesy Ronnie Wood solo. An all‑star guest list—Paul McCartney on bass, Robert Smith, Steve Winwood, Benmont Tench, Chad Smith, Bruno Mars on cowbell, and a posthumous appearance by Charlie Watts alongside Steve Jordan and Darryl Jones—helps Foreign Tongues merge raw, retro‑fuzz garage blues with modern sheen, leading some reviewers to suggest that, if this does turn out to be their last album, it stands as a fitting testament to the band’s late‑career resurgence.
