Hackney Diamonds is an upcoming studio album by British blues rock band The Rolling Stones.[1]

Recording, promotion, and release

The Rolling Stones had last released a studio album in 2016 with the blues covers album Blue & Lonesome, which began with new material recorded with Don Was but stalled.[2] The band's last album of original material was A Bigger Bang in 2005, but they continued to record occasional tracks, such as for the compilation GRRR! in 2012 and the 2020 single "Living in a Ghost Town". The group again recorded sessions for a new album starting in 2020, but these were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Studio work in 2021 yielded several completed songs[4] and further recordings in late 2022 and early 2023 with producer Andrew Watt included Paul McCartney playing bass guitar on new Stones music.[5] In June 2023, former bassist Bill Wyman announced that he had recorded for the band for the first time in 30 years.[6][3] Additional recordings with Elton John are expected to be on the release.[1] These recordings include the last work by Charlie Watts before his death and the first with drummer Steve Jordan.[7]

On 22 August, 2023, an advertisement appeared in the Hackney Gazette teasing the album, referencing several Rolling Stones song titles and displaying their tongue logo.[1] The same day, the band's social media profiles posted new artwork by Paulina Almira[8] and Universal Music Group debuted a website to promote the release.[9][10]
