The Rolling Stones have launched a new official podcast, Speaking In Tongues, in advance of their forthcoming studio album, Foreign Tongues. Narrated by Norah Jones, whose podcast credits include her own Norah Jones Is Playing Along, the series will boast interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of The Rolling Stones’ latest release.
A description reads, “Over six episodes, Speaking In Tongues takes listeners inside the studio on an intimate and exclusive journey tracing the story of the inspiration, writing and recording of the new album. Starting in the wake of the band’s 2023 universally acclaimed Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, Mick, Keith and Ronnie will reflect on their songwriting process, studio techniques and the creative influences and collaborators that shaped Foreign Tongues. Utilizing exclusive behind-the-scenes studio outtakes and never-before-heard new songs and with The Rolling Stones as their guides, listeners will hear how riffs became songs, how lyrics took shape and discover how the band navigated the challenge of staying true to their remarkable legacy while pushing forward creatively.”
The podcast will also feature interviews with the record’s producer Andrew Watt as well as album contributors like The Cure’s Robert Smith and Steve Winwood and the set’s cover artist, Nathaniel Mary Quinn. Foreign Tongues, the Stones’ 25th full-length release, will be available July 10 via Capitol Records. In a recent interview with Uncut, Richards admitted that though touring might not be possible for the ensemble in the future, the group might look at staging residencies in cities like London, New York and Paris.
