Mick Jagger raved about working with Paul McCartney on The Rolling Stones' upcoming new album, Foreign Tongues.

The music icon opened up about the recording process with the Beatles legend on the song "Covered in You."

"Obviously, I've known Paul for ages," he told NME on Wednesday (July 1). "He's not a stranger. Paul did exactly what we needed in, like, 10 minutes. It was very easy."

In May, Andrew Watt guaranteed "satisfaction" when it came to Foreign Tongues.

Watt, who produced the "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hitmakers' upcoming LP, promised that fans would be in for a treat.

"It's rawer and livelier and jammier, and wait till you hear the s--- Keith Richards is playing," he told The Guardian on May 26. "There's moments where they blow your brains out with how unbelievable and tight it is, and they're all on it. But part of their magic is that it's always changing. So, the recording process had to be something where we were going for keeps at all times, so you could capture those moments."

Foreign Tongues drops July 10 and will feature contributions from Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and late Stones drummer Charlie Watts, in addition to McCartney.
