The Rolling Stones have shared two more tracks from their upcoming album Foreign Tongues.
"Jealous Lover" is the A-side of the release, which also comes with a video starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton. But you have to be an Amazon Music subscriber to see the clip as of now. The track features Steve Winwood on organ and the Rhodes electric piano, one of nine songs on the album he plays on.
As for how Winwood came to play on the album, he tells Uncut magazine, "I think Ronnie [Wood] called me first, when they were cutting [their last album] Hackney Diamonds. He said, ‘Hi, man. Come and play a track.’ I said, ‘Yeah, sure, just let me know where and when.'"
That never materialized, but Stones producer Andrew Watt made sure to get him involved on Foreign Tongues.
"I think I was asked just to play on one song, then they said, ‘There’s another couple you can do.’ I did a couple more and then they said, ‘Come next week and do some more.’"
Winwood went onto say, “[The late] Nicky Hopkins [who played on over 60 Stones' songs] and I were on a similar journey, in a way. I think the Stones knew that and I suspect that they wanted that sort of feel. Everything they do has this wonderful vintage Stones thing going on. Much of the album was done with everyone playing together, which is a rarity these days and adds some magic and temperament.”
The B-side is "Divine Intervention,"which features The Cure's Robert Smith playing guitar alongside Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
Both songs are on YouTube now. Foreign Tongues is due out July 10th.
