The brief clip starts with vocals reminiscent of the 1969 Stones song &#8220;Gimme Shelter,&#8221; before quickly moving to a guitar riff that sounds a lot like &#8220;Rock and a Hard Place&#8221; from 1989&#8217;s <em>Steel Wheels<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Foreign Tongues<\/em> would be the first Rolling Stones album since 2023&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/the-rolling-stones-hackney-diamonds\/\"><em>Hackney Diamonds<\/em><\/a>, and their second since the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rolling-stones-drummer-charlie-watts-dies-at-80\/\">2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like the well-received <em>Diamonds<\/em>, the new album was produced by Andrew Watt, who has also worked with <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/ozzy-osbourne\/\">Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/elton-john\/\">Elton John<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/paul-mccartney\/\">Paul McCartney<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Instagram \/ Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood<\/span><\/p><figcaption>Instagram \/ Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rolling-stones-solo-albums-ranked\/\">Rolling Stones Solo Albums Ranked Worst to Best<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While promoting <em>Diamonds<\/em> in 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/mick-jagger\/\">Mick Jagger<\/a> revealed the band was already at work on what would become <em>Foreign Tongues<\/em>: &#8220;We&#8217;ve got almost three-quarters through the next one,&#8221; he told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/09\/14\/arts\/music\/rolling-stones-hackney-diamonds.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Charlie leaving us, I think we needed to make a new mark with [new drummer] Steve [Jordan]&#8221; added <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/keith-richards\/\">Keith Richards<\/a>, dismissing any speculation that the band would end their recording career.
