Foreign **s, the new album from The Rolling Stones, is an incredibly vibrant 14-track collection arriving less than three years after the band's universally acclaimed, GRAMMY-winning album Hackney Diamonds, which topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum status. The new album is introduced by the upbeat and infectious lead single In The Stars. Leading up to the announcement, the band subtly built anticipation around the project, including the limited white label release of the track Rough and Twisted, issued exclusively on vinyl under the name The Cockroaches. Circulating among fans and collectors, the release has already sparked excitement and speculation about the sound and direction of Foreign **s, offering an early glimpse into the album's raw and experimental energy. Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, Foreign **s was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with GRAMMY-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed Hackney Diamonds. The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band's unmistakable sound while venturing into new sonic and lyrical territory-further cementing their unmatched legacy. The album showcases standout performances from Jagger, Richards and Wood, alongside their long-time collaborators, including Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan. It also features a special guest appearance from Charlie Watts, recorded during one of his final studio sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions come from an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure, and Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Speaking about the recording process, Mick Jagger said: "I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign **s. We had 14 great tracks, and we worked as quickly as we could. I like the room there because it's not too big, so you can really feel the passion in the room from everyone." Keith Richards added: "The album Foreign **s has a connection to Hackney Diamonds, and it was great to be working in London again and to have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated punch. For me, it's all about the joy of it. I'm blessed to be able to do this-may it continue for a long time." Ronnie Wood commented: "The atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was in top form throughout the process. Very often, we nailed it on the first take. ** everyone will love it." The album's striking cover artwork is a painting created by the acclaimed American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn.
