Exciting Developments in Faces’ New Music
In related news, another member of Faces, Kenney Jones, recently shared insights regarding new music from the band. In a revealing interview with The Telegraph, Jones disclosed that they are currently working on approximately 11 tracks, although fans should temper their expectations, as a new album is not anticipated to be released this year.
“Everyone’s pursuing their individual projects,” Jones elaborated. “We create little snippets of music here and there. And then, suddenly, the Stones are back on tour, and Rod is out performing again.” This reflects the dynamic and busy lives of these legendary musicians, each contributing uniquely to the music world.
In the meantime, an exciting documentary focusing on Faces is currently in production, featuring never-before-seen archival footage shot with handheld cameras that were given to the band members back in 1972.
“This footage has never been viewed publicly,” Jones mentioned, adding with a chuckle, “and there are some rude bits in there!” This documentary promises to provide an intimate look into the band’s history and creative process.
