This week, The Rolling Stones will release their hugely anticipated 24th studio album, Hackney Diamonds. It is the band’s first album of original material in 18 years, following on from 2005’s A Bigger Bang.
“With producer Andrew Watt giving the whole thing a gleaming contemporary sheen and most tracks building to bombastic rock climaxes, Hackney Diamonds bristles with such sonic and emotional turbulence,” wrote critic Mark Beaumont in his four-star review.
You can also read The Independent’s interview with the band this Saturday (21 October).
