New Music Friday May 8: The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Barry Manilow, Chaka Khan And More

Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.

Paul McCartney announced his first-ever duet with Ringo Starr during his special fan album playback in London this week. The song was formed around a drum track Paul invited Ringo to record for the album with producer Andrew Watt. Paul shared, “Ringo went round to the studio and drummed a bit. I said to Andrew, we should make a track and send it to him. So this song is done totally with Ringo in mind. In writing the song I’m talking about where we came from. In common with a lot of people, you come from nothing and you build yourself up.” The song is the second song released from Paul’s upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, out May 29.

The Rolling Stones announced their new studio album, Foreign Tongues, will be out July 10. The album was made in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt. The album includes a special appearance from Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions include Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This week, The Rolling Stones had a special event in New York that included a conversation with Conan O’Brien and an exclusive, behind the scenes look at the making of the album. Attendees were treated to first listens of three never before heard tracks from their upcoming album and a debut preview of the new music video for “In the Stars” which features Odessa A’zion.
