Swati Bhat
20 October 2023, New York: The Rolling Stones took over New York City's Racket NYC last night to mark the arrival of their highly anticipated new album Hackney Diamonds, the band's first new album in eighteen years. With DJ Questlove on the turntables, the party rapidly evolved into a rock concert as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood joined the stage to perform their songs from the new album plus classic hits. Lady Gaga joined the band on stage to perform their single "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" before a sold-out crowd.
Bruce Springsteen, Daniel Craig, Mary Kate Olsen, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Chris Rock, Taylor Hill, Rachel Weisz, Dianna Agron, Christie Brinkley, Minka Kelly, Tommy Hilfiger, and others will be in attendance.
The 12-track album was produced at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Metropolis Studios in London, Sanctuary Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, Electric Lady Studios in New York, and The Hit Factory/Germano Studios in New York. Charlie Watts, the late drummer, appears on two tunes, "Mess It Up" and "Live By The Sword." “Live By The Sword” additionally features bass from former Stones bassist Bill Wyman. “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” featuring vocals from Lady Gaga and keys and piano from Stevie Wonder, “Get Close” and “Live By The Sword’” with piano from Elton John, and “Bite My Head Off” with bass from Paul McCartney.”
Hackney Diamonds is their first studio album since 2005's A Bigger Bang. Since then, the Stones have continued to break box office records on a string of global sell-out tours, and in 2016, they released the GRAMMY® Award-winning Blue & Lonesome, which featured brilliant versions of many of the blues tracks that helped shape their sound and topped album charts around the world. On their anniversary Sixty tour last year, they wowed nearly a quarter-million European fans. Over the course of their career, the Rolling Stones have sold over 250 million albums worldwide.
