"Mick Jagger stated that Foreign Tongues' 14 songs would span numerous genres, emphasizing the band's versatility: 'The thing about this record is the Stones are a rock band that also has the capacity to do ballads, country music or dance music.'"
"Keith Richards humorously noted the role of producer Andrew Watt, saying, 'When it's not working, that's when we bring in the referee... He kicks us up the arse.'"
"Jagger described the new song Ringing Hollow as a country tune inspired by their love of Hank Williams, while Beautiful Delilah draws from delta blues."
"The band performed in high spirits, with Jagger playfully responding to Conan O'Brien's joke about his blazer, saying, 'It kicks ass.'"
