The band has been subtly building anticipation for this announcement, starting with the exclusive vinyl release of a limited edition white label version of the track "Rough and Twisted," under the name The Cockroaches.
Reflecting on the recording process, Mick Jagger said: “I love doing these recording sessions in London, at the Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 excellent tracks and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there because it’s not too big, so you can feel everyone’s passion in the atmosphere.”
