More than six decades into their legendary career, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones are still pushing forward with new music. The iconic rock band officially announced their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, which arrives on July 10 and already has longtime fans buzzing with excitement.
According to USA Today, the group celebrated the announcement with a lively launch event in Brooklyn, where they also introduced two new songs, “In the Stars” and “Rough and Twisted.” The atmosphere reportedly reflected the same playful energy and humor that has helped define the band for generations. Even after all these years, the Stones still seem completely comfortable entertaining both fans and each other.
The Rolling Stones Continue To Reinvent Themselves
During the event, Jagger joked openly about how he still maintains his famous voice and stage energy at 82 years old. While the crowd laughed at his playful comments, he ultimately credited constant practice for keeping him sharp. That work ethic has clearly remained central to the band’s longevity, especially as many of their peers slowed down or retired years ago.
The upcoming album also highlights the group’s refusal to stay confined to one musical style. Over the decades, the Stones built their reputation by blending rock with blues, country, and even dance influences. As a result, their music has continued evolving rather than simply repeating old formulas. That creative flexibility appears to remain alive on Foreign Tongues.
A New Album That Still Honors The Band’s History
The new record also carries emotional significance because it features one of the final recordings from late drummer Charlie Watts. His appearance on the fast-paced track “Hit Me in the Head” gives the album an added layer of nostalgia for longtime fans who still miss the legendary musician’s presence within the band.
Additionally, the project includes contributions from major artists like Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, and Steve Winwood. Even with so many famous collaborators involved, the spirit of the Stones still remains at the center of the music. At a time when many classic rock acts rely mostly on nostalgia tours, the Rolling Stones continue proving they still have something fresh to offer. Their latest chapter shows that ambition and creativity do not necessarily fade with age.
