The Rolling Stones have unveiled two new singles from their upcoming new album, Foreign Tongues, which is set to arrive on July 10th via Capitol Records. The first is the groovy “Jealous Lover,” which comes accompanied by a Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor-directed music video. The second is “Divine Intervention,” which features some divine intervention from none other than The Cure’s Robert Smith.
“Jealous Lover,” dubbed the A-side of the double single, is a groovy piece of classic Stones. Mick Jagger spends most of the tune pushing the higher registers of his falsetto while the instrumental — which includes contributions from Steve Winwood and Andrew Watt — jams along. Keeping in their recent tradition of nabbing Hollywood stars for their visuals, the “Jealous Lover” music video boasts Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton. It’s a pretty loose and fun time. The lyric video is streaming below, while the music video is available on Amazon Music.
“Divine Intervention,” meanwhile, kicks off like an old school rocker, with bluesy licks and a hopping energy. Then, it breaks into a surprisingly poppy, soaring chorus and, eventually, a blissful bridge, both bearing the gothy touch of Smith’s guitar. Stream it below.
The legendary band’s 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues was produced by Andrew Watt, and also features guest appearances by Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith. Additionally, late drummer Charlie Watts appears posthumously on the album thanks to a recording session captured before his passing in 2021. Pre-order it here.
“Jealous Lover” joins the album’s previous two singles, “In the Stars” and “Rough and Twisted.” If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the music video for “In the Stars,” which features de-aged versions of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood.
The band aren’t likely to tour behind the record until at least 2027, but pre-orders for the regular and yellow box set editions of the LP are available now. Or, indulge your inner nerd with five Marvel-themed vinyl collector’s editions featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, and Hulk.
In conclusion, The Rolling Stones are set to release their highly anticipated new album Foreign Tongues on July 10th, and the two new singles, “Jealous Lover” and “Divine Intervention,” are a promising glimpse into what’s to come. With guest appearances from music legends like Robert Smith and Paul McCartney, this album is shaping up to be a must-listen for fans of the iconic rock band.
