The legendary bad boys of rock, The Rolling Stones, are stirring up trouble once again with the release of their fiery new single “Angry” – the first taste of their upcoming album Hackney Diamonds. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood gave fans a show as they unveiled details of the long-awaited record at a star-studded media event hosted by Jimmy Fallon at London’s historic Hackney Empire theater.
Recorded across iconic studios in LA, London, the Bahamas, and New York, Hackney Diamonds sees the Stones pushing creative boundaries just as they’ve done for nearly six decades. It’s been 18 years since their last studio LP A Bigger Bang tore up the charts, and seven since their acclaimed roots collection Blue & Lonesome paid homage to the blues origins that ignited their career. Now, with the aid of acclaimed producer Andrew Watt, whose golden touch includes Post Malone and Iggy Pop, the band is primed to ignite the world again with their gritty, rebellious sound.
“Angry” storms out of the gates with an in-your-face music video directed by acclaimed image-maker Francois Rousselet. Featuring Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney, it pulses with a youthful intensity that guarantees to turn up the heat on the Stones’ legacy. After years of anticipation, fans can expect Hackney Diamonds to deliver the raw, rolling rock’n’roll rebellion they’ve come to love from the undisputed kings of swagger. The Stones are back – and they mean business.
