Overview
- This week the Rolling Stones published the official video for “Mr Charm,” directed by Henry Scholfield and filmed in Palmdale, California, with Alexander Skarsgård playing the central role.
- The video release was accompanied on streaming platforms by a previously unreleased track called “Bad Luck Hideaway,” a duet by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards produced by Andrew Watt.
- “Bad Luck Hideaway” includes drum parts taken from archived Charlie Watts recordings from the British Grove sessions, marking another use of the late drummer’s material on the Foreign Tongues campaign.
- Foreign Tongues, released in July, has topped charts in multiple countries and the band has amplified its rollout with a series of star‑led videos following earlier clips featuring Anya Taylor‑Joy, Charles Melton and Odessa A’zion.
- The Stones recorded Foreign Tongues quickly at Metropolis Studios with Andrew Watt and collaborators such as Steve Winwood and Steve Jordan, and the current promotional push highlights the group’s blend of topical lyrics, high‑profile casting and archival collaboration.
