The Rolling Stones se cijelom svijetu predstavljaju sa albumom “Hackney Diamonds“, izdanjem koje priznati svjetski kritičari već nazivaju njihovim najboljim albumom u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća. Sa albuma “Hackney Diamonds” dosad su izdvojeni singlovi – “Angry” i “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” (The Rolling Stones feat. Lady Gaga & Stevie Wonder), a sve pjesme sa izdanja za slušanje su dostupne OVDJE.

Nakon albuma “A Bigger Bang” koji je objavljen 2005. godine, “Hackney Diamonds” označava prvo studijsko izdanje koje broji cijeli set novih pjesama. Album s 12 pjesama snimljen je na raznim lokacijama diljem svijeta, uključujući – Henson Recording Studios (Los Angeles), Metropolis Studios (London), Sanctuary Studios (Nassau, Bahami), Electric Lady Studios (New York) i The Hit Factory/Germano Studios (New York).

Na singlu “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” gostuju Lady Gaga i Stevie Wonder. Na pjesmama – “Get Close” i “Live By The Sword’” – pojavljuje se Elton John, dok na pjesmi “Bite My Head Off” bass gitaru svira, ni manje ni više nego, Paul McCartney.

Tokom svoje duge muzičke karijere, The Rolling Stones su diljem svijeta prodali više od 250 miliona albuma. Album “Hackney Diamonds” obilježava prvu saradnju Stonesa (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood) s njujorškim muzičarem i producentom, Andrew Wattom, kojem je 2021. godine pripalo priznanje Grammy za Producenta godine te je poznat po radu s drugim velikim muzičkim zvijezdama kao što su – Post Malone, Iggy Pop i Elton John.

The Rolling Stones su neuništivi. Protok vremena – sedam decenija – nije ih moglo uništiti. Neki članovi su tokom tog perioga umirali ili odlazili, ali sukus (srž, bit) tog benda – Mick Jagger i Keith Richards – konstantno su bili tu da tako dugo i na visini kvaliteta održe postojanje i rad tog benda. Albumom “Hackney Diamonds” The Rolling Stones su potvrdili svoju veličinu. Ništa manje od njih nije ni trebalo očekivati.
