The Rolling Stones are gearing up to release their new album Foreign Tongues, their 25th LP arriving on Friday, and ahead of its release, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood appeared at an event in London where they previewed “Ringing Hollow” live.

In the clip the band shared on Instagram, Jagger, Wood, and keyboardist Matt Clifford perform the song acoustically in what looked to be an intimate gathering. “So this just happened in London…,” reads the caption to the clip. “Mick and Ronnie have surprised guests at a special event, with a performance of Ringing Hollow, from the new album Foreign Tongues – out this Friday!,” It’s unclear where the event took place in London or why Keith Richards is not performing in the video, but Jagger and Wood were photographed at an album launch event at St. Clement Hotel in London on Wednesday, where their performance likely took place.


“’Ringing Hollow,’ a loping country rocker that recalls Gram Parsons’ influence on the Stones, is Jagger and Keith Richards‘ kiss-off letter to the U.S.,” Rolling Stone’s review, which praised the record, reads. “’Well, I was madly in love with you/Before we ever met,’ Jagger sings. ‘I saw all your movies/I smoked your cigarettes.’ But now, Jagger sings, ‘Lady Liberty is wearing a frown.’”

Ahead of the album, the band released “Jealous Lover” and “Divine Intervention,” which features additional guitar played by the Cure‘s Robert Smith, preceded by singles “In the Stars” and “Rough and Twisted.”

Alongside the album release, they launched a podcast called Speaking in Tongues, which is hosted by Norah Jones. The podcast will feature six episodes, and Episode Two is available now.

Richards recently suggested that the band may not tour. “I don’t know if tours are possible,” he said. “It’s the traveling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing residency somewhere. Wherever it is, London, New York, Paris, anywhere. I’ll play Rome! But I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to throw some shows together in a new format.”

Bad Bunny stays winning. The Puerto Rican superstar just earned his first Emmy nomination for his historic 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance, specifically in the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) category.

Interestingly enough, the musician is credited twice under the official nomination, once with his birth name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio for his role as a supervising producer of the performance, and as a performer. The performance itself earned nine nominations, including Outstanding Choreography For Variety Or Reality Programming, Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special, Outstanding Hairstyling For A Variety, Nonfiction Or Reality Program, Outstanding Production Design For A Variety Special, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction For A Special, Outstanding Music Direction, and the aforementioned Outstanding Variety Special (Live), though Bad Bunny is only listed under Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

Sam Cooke’s Granddaughters Preview Their Daptone Debut With ‘If I Let You’

When a group calling themselves the Womack Sisters announce a throwback soul album, the first thing they have to contend with is their legacy. Zeimani, Kucha, and BG Womack are the daughters of Linda and Cecil Womack, who made R&B records in the Eighties. Their grandfather (Linda’s dad) is Sam Cooke. And their uncle is Cecil’s older brother, R&B legend Bobby Womack.

In August, the trio will release The Womack Sisters, their self-titled debut, on Daptone Records. Fans of the label will recognize the textured harmonies and vintage arrangements that run through “If I Let You,” the group’s latest single, out today (July 8). Beginning with a driving organ, the bouncy soul-pop tune is a meditation on rushing into love.

Grammy-winning producer Jermaine Dupri has filed a blistering lawsuit against Sony Music Entertainment (SME), accusing the company of underpaying and concealing royalties tied to his work with artists including Mariah Carey, Usher, Kris Kross, Xscape, Bow Wow, and Da Brat.

The Atlanta-based producer and songwriter, known for shaping the sound of Nineties hip-hop and R&B, claims Sony Music “knew that it was violating” contracts with him and his influential label, So So Def, but “never attempted to disclose its contemptuous accounting practices.” Dupri’s lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, is seeking at least $18 million in damages.
