Meanwhile, the Rolling Stones remain active and recently released two new singles: 'Jealous Lover', which features Steve Winwood and a music video starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton, and 'Divine Intervention', a collaboration with Robert Smith, lead singer of The Cure. The latter features a striking chorus, in which Jagger sings: "Divine intervention is out of the question, I'm gonna dance in the flames, Cos' divine intervention is out of the question." These tracks are part of the Rolling Stones' new album, titled 'Foreign Tongues', scheduled to be released on July 10th. To promote the record, the band has also released a six-episode podcast called 'Speaking in Tongues', which offers fans an exclusive, in-depth look at the creation of the new work. Mick Jagger's approval of Geese reinforces the band's relevance in the current music scene and highlights the Rolling Stones' continued influence on the world of rock, both through their legacy and through their support of new generations that challenge the genre's limits.
