London.- The Rolling Stones confirmed this Saturday the title of their next project record, ‘Foreign Tongues’, after months of clues and enigmatic messages on social media that had fueled speculation about a new album.
The members of the group founded in 1962, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, and Keith Richards, shared various elements of the album cover on Instagram, which, when put together, seem to form a single image.
Jagger showed the lower part with an illustration of his mouth and chin; Wood the central area, with eyes and nose; and Richards the upper part, with disheveled hair and his typical multicolored scarf.
On Friday, the band released a short preview of a song still untitled in a 13-second video posted for its more than 4.2 million followers, in which its iconic mouth and tongue logo appeared on a moving background.
The message accompanying the publication included two emojis, one of them a CD, which led followers to interpret that it would be integrated into a new album.

Will be on sale on July 10th
According to the British news agency PA, the group’s first album since 2023 will go on sale on July 10, while it is still unknown if there will be a new tour.
The promotion also included the use of the alias The Cockroaches, an identity with which the band has played on other occasions for surprise releases.
Under that name, a limited vinyl with the song ‘Rough And Twisted’ was released in April, distributed in independent stores and sold out in a few hours.
The new album will be the first since ‘Hackney Diamonds’ (2023), with which they won a Grammy, and the 25th of their studio career.
Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones maintain one of the most successful careers in rock, with classics like ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, ‘Paint It Black’ or ‘Start Me Up’, as well as 14 number one albums and eight singles at the top of the charts in the United Kingdom.
Following the death in 2021 of drummer Charlie Watts, at the age of 80, Steve Jordan joined the group, which has been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1989.
