Both songs were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
On “In The Stars” features Benmont Tench on Organ. On “Rough And Twisted” features James King on tenor saxophone.
The band previously released “Rough And Twisted” under the name The Cockroaches as a white-label promo 12-inch last month.- Mick Jagger said of the album, “I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis. It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks, and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there as it's not too big so you can feel the passion in the room from everyone.”
Keith Richards said, “The Foreign Tongues album has a continuity from Hackney Diamonds, and it was great to be working in London again, and to have that London vibe around us. It was a month of concentrated punch. To me, it's all about the enjoyment of it. I'm blessed to be able to do this and long may it last.”
Ronnie Wood said, “The atmosphere in the room was so creative, and the whole band was on top form throughout the whole process. Very often we nailed it on the first take. I hope everyone loves it.” -
