After an 18-year hiatus from releasing new material, the Rolling Stones have finally released details on their upcoming album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’. The news was announced during a high-profile press event in London, chaired by Jimmy Fallon.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood took to the stage to talk about their enthusiasm for the new project. The trio mentioned that the album came together relatively quickly, starting their collaboration in late 2021. They chose the name ‘Hackney Diamonds’ to pay homage to their London origins.
This album marks the band’s first set of new songs since the loss of their drummer, Charlie Watts, last year. A couple of songs even feature Watts, which were recorded in 2019. Fans will also hear Bill Wyman, the Stones’ original bassist, on one track.
The album has a touch of modernity with appearances by Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder. The Stones revealed this information during an interview on the red carpet.
The event itself was a spectacle, with fans and international media packed into the Hackney Empire venue. Attendees were treated to Rolling Stones-themed cupcakes and a debut screening of the music video for Angry, the album’s lead single. Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” stars in the video and described it as a career highlight.
A mix of ballads, love songs and what Jagger described as “country-type” songs, the album promises to deliver the band’s signature sound with some new twists.
Set for release on October 20th, ‘Hackney Diamonds’ has set high expectations. The Stones assured fans that while they may have been absent from the studio for a while, they’ve been anything but idle. As Richards said, the album and subsequent tour are the “Holy Grail” of his musical journey.
