The Rolling Stones have always been masters of reinvention, but for their latest single “In the Stars,” theyโve chosen to look backward to move forward. Taken from their highly anticipated upcoming album Foreign Tongues (dropping July 10th), the track delivers that signature grit fans crave. However, itโs the music video that has everyone talking. Director Francois Rousseletโthe visionary behind “Angry”โutilizes cutting-edge deepfake technology to transport Mick, Keith, and Ronnie back to their 1970s prime.
The result is a hauntingly seamless blend of eras. While the song resonates with the timeless energy of a band that refuses to quit, the visuals offer a surreal glimpse into a “lost” decade, featuring actress Odessa Aโzion as the latest muse in the Stones’ cinematic universe. Following in the footsteps of Sydney Sweeney and Kristen Stewart, Aโzion brings a raw, obsessive energy to the screen, admitting that working with the band was a “bucket list” moment.
Foreign Tongues: A Classic Sound for a Digital Age
Produced by the prolific Andrew Watt, Foreign Tongues promises to be a career-defining late-era masterpiece. The lead single “In the Stars” highlights the bandโs ability to maintain their swagger while embracing the tools of 2026. Rousseletโs choice to use deepfake tech isn’t just a gimmick; it mirrors the album’s theme of legacy and the fluidity of time. Interestingly, the video depicts a mid-70s lineup, capturing the exact moment the bandโs identity solidified into the global juggernaut we know today.
