TUNEEEEE! 

The Rolling Stones have unveiled details about their upcoming album, "Hackney Diamonds," marking their return to new songwriting after nearly two decades. This highly anticipated album features an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and former Stones bassist Bill Wyman. Notably, it includes the last recorded contributions from the late drummer Charlie Watts, who can be heard on two tracks.

The album's title, "Hackney Diamonds," is a reference to East London slang describing shattered glass from a break-in. Throughout the songwriting credits, the legendary "Jagger-Richards" duo is prominently mentioned, signifying Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' collaborative efforts for the first time since their 2005 album "A Bigger Bang." It's also the band's first studio album since 2016's blues cover collection, "Blue & Lonesome."

Adding to the creative mix, the album's producer, Andrew Watt, joins as a co-writer on three songs. Andrew Watt is renowned for his work on recent hit albums by a diverse range of artists, including Elton John, Justin Bieber, Iggy Pop, Post Malone, and Miley Cyrus.
