The exciting news was shared by Mick, Keith and Ronnie at a special media launch event at the historic Hackney Empire, East London's epicentre of pioneering art for almost 125 years. The launch was hosted by Jimmy Fallon and streamed worldwide via YouTube.
The 12-track album, for which full track list information will be revealed soon, was recorded in various locations around the world, including Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Metropolis Studios, London; Sanctuary Studios, Nassau, Bahamas; Electric Lady Studios, New York; and The Hit Factory/Germano Studios, also in New York.
The album is their first studio set of new material since 2005's A Bigger Bang. Since then, The Stones have continued to do global sellout tours and released 2016's GRAMMY® Award winning Blue & Lonesome, which featured their versions of blues tracks that helped shape their sound, and topped album charts around the world. Last year, European audiences totalling nearly a quarter of a million saw their 60th anniversary tour.
Hackney Diamonds marks The Stones' (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood) first collaboration with Andrew Watt, who was named Producer of the Year at the 2021 GRAMMY® Awards and has worked with Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne and Elton John.
“Angry” is accompanied by a music video directed by Francois Rousselet, whose credits include work with Nike, Diesel, Pharrell Williams, and on The Stones'
“Ride 'Em On Down,” from Blue & Lonesome. The new promo clip stars Emmy-nominated actress Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus, Euphoria, The Handmaid's Tale).
