Episode Details

The Rolling Stones said this week that their first new collection of songs in almost 20 years comes out on October 20. The album will be called Hackney Diamonds. The name comes from broken glass often seen on the streets of east London’s Hackney area. Three of the band’s original members - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood – came to the Hackney Empire, a historic theater, for the announcement.

滚石乐队本周表示，他们近 20 年来的第一张新歌集将于 10 月 20 日发行。这张专辑将被称为 Hackney Diamonds。这个名字来源于伦敦东部哈克尼地区街道上经常看到的碎玻璃。乐队的三名原始成员 - 米克·贾格尔 (Mick Jagger)、基思·理查兹 (Keith Richards) 和罗尼·伍德 (Ronnie Wood) - 来到历史悠久的哈克尼帝国剧院，聆听这一消息。

The Rolling Stones are still traveling the world and performing concerts, but they have not made an album since 2016. That recording did not include new material. Richards, 79, said the band only made a new album because Jagger wanted to sing. So they went to record new songs after almost 20 years. “When you have a singer that wants to sing,” Richards said, “you grab him and throw him in the studio.” Richards said the songs came together with “energy and urgency.”

滚石乐队仍在世界各地巡回演出并举办音乐会，但自 2016 年以来他们就没有制作过专辑。该唱片不包含新材料。 79 岁的理查兹表示，乐队制作新专辑只是因为贾格尔想唱歌。于是他们时隔近20年才去录制新歌。 “当你有一个歌手想唱歌时，”理查兹说，“你抓住他，把他扔进录音室。”理查兹表示，这些歌曲充满了“活力和紧迫感”。

Jagger, who is 80, said, “we are quite pleased,” with the new album. He said the group would not have put a recording together if “we hadn’t really liked it. We said we had to make a record we really love ourselves … we hope you all like it.” They released the first song, called Angry, this week. But Jagger said the rest of the songs are not angry. He said the album contains “love songs, ballads, country…” sounds. The new recording includes songs with Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Charlie Watts, the Rolling Stones drummer who died in 2021. Watts recorded sounds for two songs in 2019. Steve Jordan is the drummer for the other 10.

80 岁的贾格尔表示，“我们对新专辑非常满意”。他说，如果“我们不是真的喜欢它”，乐队就不会录制这张唱片。我们说我们必须制作一张我们真正爱自己的唱片……我们希望你们都喜欢它。”他们本周发行了第一首歌曲《Angry》。但贾格尔表示其余歌曲并不愤怒。他说这张专辑包含“情歌、民谣、乡村……”的声音。新唱片包括保罗·麦卡特尼、Lady Gaga、史蒂夫·旺德和 2021 年去世的滚石乐队鼓手查理·瓦茨 (Charlie Watts) 的歌曲。瓦茨在 2019 年为两首歌曲录制了声音。史蒂夫·乔丹 (Steve Jordan) 是另外 10 首歌曲的鼓手。

“Of course, he’s missed incredibly,” Richards said about Watts. But he added that Jordan was Watts’ suggestion for a replacement. Jagger said the addition of Lady Gaga to the album was unplanned. The Stones were recording at a studio in Los Angeles and Lady Gaga just happened to be in the studio next door. So, she recorded the song Sweet Sound of Heaven with the band.
