- Rolling Stones announce the 14‑track album “Foreign Tongues,” slated for July 10 release on Capitol Records.
- Andrew Watt produced the record in under a month at Metropolis Studios, reuniting with the band after “Hackney Diamonds.”
- Paul McCartney appears as a guest on the album, continuing his collaboration from the Stones’ previous release.
- Charlie Watts is featured posthumously from one of his final recording sessions before his 2021 death.
- Nathaniel Mary Quinn created the cover painting, adding a visual art component to the launch.
Why it matters: Capitol Records will see a surge in sales from the Stones’ 14‑track July 10 drop, while fans get fresh vinyl and streaming content; the release also revives legacy‑band touring demand ahead of summer festivals.
