‘Hackney Diamonds’ is The Rolling Stones’ first album in 18 years to consist entirely of new material, the last being 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’. It is also their first album since the passing of drummer Charlie Watts, who is posthumously featured on two tracks.  The band’s last full-length album was 2016’s ‘Blue And Lonesome’, a cover album of blues standards.

In a four-star reviewNME’s Alex Flood praised the album’s spirited execution, stating: “But if ‘Hackney Diamonds’ does round off the most successful career in rock music ever, it wouldn’t be a bad place to leave it. A natural end, but definitely not a normal one.”

In other news, ‘Hackney Diamonds’ landed ther 43rd spot on NME’s Best Albums of 2023 list. Their track, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’, earned the 19th spot on NME’s 50 Best Songs of 2023 list.
