Neither Tongue-Tied nor Tongue Hanging Out
The 25th studio album includes 12 originals, two covers and posthumous contributions from Charlie Watts, with guest spots from Paul McCartney and Robert Smith.
- The Rolling Stones released Foreign Tongues, their 25th studio effort, on Friday featuring 12 originals and two covers recorded in under a month at West London's Metropolis Studios with producer Andrew Watt.
- Following 2023's Hackney Diamonds, the album extends the band's late-career revival with 82-year-old Mick Jagger's commanding voice supported by keys player Matt Clilfford, bassist Daryl Hall, and drummer Steve Jordan.
- Star-Studded guests feature prominently: Sir Paul McCartney provides bass on Covered In You, The Cure's Robert Smith contributes synths and backing vocals to Never Wanna Lose You, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith plays on closing track Beautiful Delilah.
- Jagger voices disillusionment with global affairs, singing snarkily in Ringing Hollow to protest America's social unrest while Divine Intervention critiques wealth gaps and Covered In You targets autocrats, with President Donald Trump hovering over the writing.
- Critics note the record rivals 1994's Voodoo Lounge by ignoring trend-chasing for reliable satisfaction, proving that age is merely a number as The Rolling Stones march toward the inevitable.
