The Rolling Stones Share Two New Tracks from 25th Album ‘Foreign Tongues’

The Rolling Stones have issued two new songs, “Jealous Lover” and “Divine Intervention,” both drawn from their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, due July 10. The release extends a recording history that now spans more than six decades, arriving with little fanfare beyond the tracks themselves.

The band has shared no credits, production notes, or context for the album, leaving the songs to speak for themselves. Their titles suggest the band’s long‑standing thematic territory: romantic friction and earthly entanglements, rendered with the rugged economy that has defined their later work.

A 25th album is a statistical oddity in rock music, a form not known for rewarding endurance. The Stones have long operated at their own pace, treating new material as a matter‑of‑fact extension of a live and recorded continuum rather than a statement of relevance. This incremental approach can make each new entry feel less like an event and more like a bulletin from an ongoing concern.

Whether Foreign Tongues adds any essential chapter to the catalog remains to be seen. For now, “Jealous Lover” and “Divine Intervention” offer the first public evidence of a project that, by its sheer existence, reaffirms the band’s stubborn longevity.
