The Making of the Album Foreign Tongues

Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, ’Foreign Tongues’ 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 encapsulates the band's unmistakable sound while venturing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.

What Do The Rolling Stones Themselves Say About Foreign Tongues?

About the recording process of Foreign Tongues, Mick Jagger states: “I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 fantastic tracks, and we worked as fast as we could. I like the space there because it’s not too big, so you can really feel the passion in the room from everyone.”

Keith Richards adds: “The album Foreign Tongues has a connection to Hackney Diamonds, and it was great to work in London again and have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated impact. For me, it’s all about the joy of it. I am blessed to be able to do this, and may it last long.”

Ronnie Wood comments: “The atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was in top form throughout the process. Very often, we nailed it in the first take. I hope everyone will love it.”

The album's striking cover artwork is a painting created by renowned American artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn, who states: “To create the album cover for The Rolling Stones is an artistic honor – a dialogue with one of the most enduring forces in cultural history.”
