The Rolling Stones‘ upcoming studio album’s title and cover art appear to have been announced, as per UCR. On Saturday, Ron Wood, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger each shared what looks to be a third of an album cover on their Instagram pages. The three faces appear to blend together when put together. The puzzle’s individual and (about) merged pieces are shown below. The band’s name and the words “Foreign Tongues” appear on each piece of the puzzle, seemingly confirming the album’s widely reported title and matching the words written on outdoor ads that were placed worldwide on April 25 in a variety of languages, each of which featured the band’s well-known lips and tongue logo.
A sneak peek of what appears to be a new Rolling Stones song was posted on social media on Friday. A guitar riff that sounds a lot like “Rock and a Hard Place” from 1989’s “Steel Wheels” quickly takes over the short film, which begins with vocals reminiscent of the 1969 Stones song “Gimme Shelter.” “Foreign Tongues” would be the Rolling Stones‘ first album since “Hackney Diamonds” in 2023 and their second after drummer Charlie Watts passed away in 2021. Similar to the critically acclaimed “Hackney Diamonds,” Andrew Watt, who has recently collaborated with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Ozzy Osbourne, produced the new album.
The English rock group The Rolling Stones was founded in London in 1962. They have been one of the most well-known, significant, and long-lasting bands of the rock period for more than 60 years. The band invented the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to characterise hard rock in the early 1960s. After their manager Andrew Loog Oldham benched pianist Ian Stewart, their first consistent lineup was vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. Jones was the main leader in their early years. Oldham urged them to compose original music. The Jagger-Richards collaboration quickly emerged as the band’s main source of inspiration and creativity.
