Frequently Asked Questions Foreign Tongues

Data note: Foreign Tongues is scheduled for release on 10 July 2026 and this entry was prepared ahead of release. The fourteen-track listing, producer (Andrew Watt) and guest musicians are confirmed, but published songwriter credits so far cover only the two Jagger-Richards originals 'Rough and Twisted' and 'In the Stars' and the two covers 'You Know I'm No Good' (Amy Winehouse) and 'Beautiful Delilah' (Chuck Berry). Per-track writers for the remaining ten songs are not yet published, so the album stays unverified until release.
