Music Review: More New Stones Tunes? ‘Foreign Tongues’ Expands on a Late, Stunning Creative Burst
The 25th studio album features political songs, guest turns from Bruno Mars and Paul McCartney, and a track recorded before Charlie Watts died.
- The Rolling Stones released their 25th studio album, 'Foreign Tongues', expanding on the improbable late-career creative burst launched by the Grammy-winning 2023 album 'Hackney Diamonds'.
- Formed by Mick and Keith in 1961, the 64-year-old band continues its partnership under the guidance of producer Andrew Watt, who also produced 'Hackney Diamonds'.
- Collaborations feature Bruno Mars on cowbell, Paul McCartney on bass, and Robert Smith on guitar; the late Charlie Watts appears on 'Hit Me in the Head', recorded in Los Angeles before his 2021 death.
- 'Ringing Hollow' chronicles a failing love story between the band and the United States, while the album includes covers of Amy Winehouse's 'You Know I'm No Good' and Chuck Berry's 'Beautiful Delilah'.
- Critics awarded 'Foreign Tongues' four stars out of five, noting every track contains something interesting, as fans wonder if this artistic visit might extend one day to the concert stage.
