UPDATED EXCLUSIVE Reports are everywhere but I’ve confirmed:
On April 11th, the Stones will drop a new single, but not the song called “Mr. Charm.” The lead track is a rock and roll song, from a new album, not their last one, called “Foreign Tongues.” Andrew Watt is the producer.
“Mr. Charm” is said to be more of a ballad, and will be an album track.
Since a tongue is the Stones logo, the name of the album would be fitting.
I can’t imagine this is last album. Like their contemporaries — McCartney, Ringo, even Elton (a little younger) — they will keep writing and recording right up the moment they can’t do it anymore.
Why shouldn’t they? Especially since their last album, “Hackney Diamonds,” was a huge success.
What about touring? That will NOT be part of the announcement. I’m told a tour is possible, but there is no plan right now.
