The Rolling Stones just released their new album in over 18 years titled "Hackney Diamonds" featuring major collaborators like Elton John, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney.
However, even though they just put out a new musical project, Keith Richards teased their supporters about a possible follow-up as there are still songs from the record that needed to be released in the future.
The musician recently appeared in an interview with Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1 where he explained that the 48-minute "Hackney Diamonds" album wasn't enough and they still have a lot of content from the same era that will be released in the future.
In total, the new album only has 12 songs and Richards explained that the reason why they trimmed down the tracklist was because it was the best tracks around and they needed to "draw a line somewhere." (via The Wrap)
Rolling Stones 'Hackney Diamonds' Has More Unreleased Tracks
Elsewhere in the interview, Richards noted that when the band recover from their current musical era of "Hackney Diamonds" they will be thinking about releasing new music in the future.
Even though they still have a lot of content to release, the musician noted that most of them needed some polishing before fans could hear it.
"Some of them, because they're not totally ready yet, they're good, but they need a little work... But there's another one in there, I think maybe with a few more additions," he said.
He also noted in the interview that he wanted to amass the success of their current musical era before he move on to another project.
Why Did It Take 18 Years For The Rolling Stones to Release An Album
In a previous interview with the BBC, Keith Richards revealed the reason why it took the band almost two decades to come up with a new abum.
He told the outlet that frontman Mick Jagger had some bad songs when the group attempted to record them.
Another reason for the delay was Jagger's enthusaism come and go and it was not consistent with the tracks that he really wanted to create or record.
"Mick, given a song that he's not interested in, can really make it bad. And that's maybe one of the reasons it took 18 years because Mick's waves of enthusiasm come and go," Richards explained.
