The Rolling Stones will release their much teased new album, "Hackney Diamonds" on October 20th, 2023. The album marks the band’s 1st studio album of original material since 2005’s "A Bigger Bang", as 2016’s "Blue & Lonesome" was being made up of cover versions.
The album has been produced by Andrew Watt and features contributions from former Stones bass player Bill Wyman, new drummer Steve Jordan, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga.
There’s 2 CD versions of the 12 track offering (jewel case and digipak), various coloured vinyl versions and a CD + BluRay edition with a Dolby Atmos Mix and a 24/96 hi-res stereo version. That’s the good news. The bad news is that these discs come wrapped up in a box set with a 64 page book and a lenticular sleeve, so it’s not cheap.
No track listings has been officially released yet although you can preview the 2 first singles, "Angry" and "Sweet Sounds Of Heaven", now.
