From the 25th of June, 6 weekly instalments take you behind the scenes of the highly-anticipated Foreign Tongues LP.Narrated by Norah Jones, the podcast features world-exclusive interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, producer Andrew Watt and a small circle of friends and collaborators. 

How do you write a song like The Stones?  In the second episode of Speaking In Tongues, Mick, Keith, Ronnie and producer Andrew Watt talk songwriting. From the notebook to the rehearsal room, it's a process that's changed over time - but the results are as potent as ever. 

In 2023, Hackney Diamonds marked an incredible comeback for The Rolling Stones.  It was their first record of original music in 18 years - and the first without their legendary drummer, Charlie Watts. Nobody saw it coming, but Hackney Diamonds topped the charts, won rave reviews, and spawned a tour that grossed over $230 million.  They could have bowed out then - but the people wanted more. Turns out, so did The Stones. Foreign Tongues is what came next. This is the story of a band at the beginning of a renaissance - a tale that takes in loss, lunch, and legacy.

Great records are made in great studios. Foreign Tongues is no exception. In the third episode of Speaking In Tongues, Mick, Keith, Ronnie and producer Andrew Watt take you inside West London's Metropolis Studios. This is your exclusive invitation to actually hear The Rolling Stones at work.

Foreign Tongues has arrived! But this podcast is the only place to hear the stories behind the songs.  In Episode 4 of Speaking in Tongues, Mick, Keith, Ronnie, producer Andrew Watt and special guest Steve Winwood take you inside a special selection of tracks from The Rolling Stones' 25th studio album.

The Stones are famous for their eye-popping album covers. But the artwork for Foreign Tongues is their most provocative vision yet. In Episode 5 of Speaking in Tongues, artist Nathaniel Quinn joins Mick, Keith and Ronnie to tell the story of how it came to be.

In our final episode we have world-exclusive interviews with Steve Winwood and The Cure's Robert Smith - both explaining their role in the making of Foreign Tongues, while Mick, Keith and Ronnie talk covers, tributes and what might come next for the biggest band on the planet.
