As likely all Rolling Stones fans know, the legendary band will be putting out a new record on July 10. There will likely be a lot to love, from the Marvel comics-related vinyl album covers to a cover of an Amy Winehouse song to great new tunes from the group.
But don't expect this to be the Stones' final album, either. Much more music might yet be to come, and that's quite exciting. After all, after the band's success with 2023's Hackney Diamonds, the songs fans have heard from the upcoming Foreign Tongues have implied excellent with the new record. Why stop doing a good thing, right?
Speaking with Willie Geist on Sunday TODAY, Jagger was asked if he expected to put out new music every couple of years. The singer didn't hesitate to answer affirmatively.
Mick Jagger says the Rolling Stones aren't ready to quit anytime soon
Jagger said, "Yeah, I have a lot more songs to write...I wrote a lot of stuff (for the new album). I hope to be writing more, so yeah...I don't want to slow down particularly. I don't feel like slowing down."
Obviously, Jagger, guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, as well as former members, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts (who died in 2021), have been making some of the best rock songs since the 1960s. Their form hasn't dropped much, if any, since the 1970s, and continuing to get new music from the band is a gift that no one wants to stop being given.
Foreign Tongues will have a tracklist of 14 songs, all recorded over a month, and produced by the busy and brilliant Andrew Wyatt. Two singles have been released so far, and both are quite good.
The first, "Rough and Twisted," was delivered under a longtime pseudonym of the band, the Cockroaches. The second, "In the Stars," contains tight production, but is still the fairly raw rock sound of the Rolling Stones. One might logically wonder if the entire album is straightforward rock instead of any tracks that resemble the band's 1973 hit, "Angie."
The Stones will also have a little help from their friends on the new record. Some of the musicians involved include Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of the Cure, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
As far as a new tour, Mick Jagger confirmed the Rolling Stones won't be doing any concerts in 2025, but next year could be different. Even in their 80s, the band puts on energetic and fantastic performances. One hopes that it never stops, especially after the group has been making great songs for seven decades already.
