It seems they will do another studio effort this year. Aiming for a spring release, before the North America tour 2019.
Word on Universal is about an early single release, maybe late January or February, then 2 more singles in April/May and the full album in late May or early June.

BV advised on the Tour thread that the current plan is for a March tour announcement for an April/May tour. BV is always right on these things. So what (someone who works for) Universal expects or wants may not mean much (it's probably at least half wrong). I rather believe Keith - when they have something done that is ready, they will release it
Well, yes, you can't go wrong with waiting until it is released.
As for Bjornulf and Soldatti (aka Georgelicks), they both have very good track records. They also both have on occasion shared things that didn't quite pan out, that doesn't make either unreliable. And thus far, the information they've both shared largely aligns. There's no reason to discount either.

With the singles it tells me they have stuff ready to go. Also they must have some degree of confidence in the material or they would just wait until 3 weeks before the album is actually released before unleashing anything. My opinion only

Hopefully, rather with singles that do not feature tracks of the album.

Not asking too much, but...
Hope we get a cool reggae tune Stones style....and maybe an acoustic blues tune...while they're at it throw in an electric blues tune...
...also something stompin' funky ala Hot Stuff...and maybe something country-esque...and some straight old school Rolling Stones Rock and Roll....

There was article in the UK's Sunday Mirror last week quoting Katherine Jenkins (opera singer) who is a friend of Sally (& Ron), who said, she had been spending time with them and Ron said the Stones will be finishing off an album this year and touring with it next...........

Same marketing strategy as BLUE AND LONESOME from the sound of it. Similar to what they did with STICKY FINGERS DELUXE as well.

it seems the band are working on this album in very small instalments.
start in 2015, a couple of sessions here and there, a few months off, back to work for a few more hours, another extended period of time off, then studio work end of year and hey bingo, an album release in 2019.
do the band lack that amount of motivation to actually get the job done, not as if they are lazy. when it comes to concerts, they dont do 4 songs here, rest a few days, back to the concert for 4 songs, a week off, then back for another 2 songs, and then finish the gig 3 month later.
it does seem a very odd way to work.

Somehow, I get the impression that if Mick was to record a solo album, he would be nearer to Dylan's approach. He must get bored with the long winded, drawn out approach to his groups recording method. Not surprising he goes off and does other projects.

I think Mick did the "Dylan approach" with Getta Grip/England Lost, and the results speak for themselves - some like it, while others don't.
But looking at the credits of his last full solo album via wiki, the dates of the recording are listed as February and May 2000, January–February and April–June 2001.
Not really drawn out over too long a period ala Stones style, but not really the the "Dylan approach" either.
And then you add in the multiple producers: Matt Clifford, Marti Frederiksen, and Mick Jagger with Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis, Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, and Chris Potter...
Not to mention the lengthy list of musicians involved:
Mick Jagger – lead vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, percussion, backing vocals
Robert Aaron – keyboards, horn, flute
Kenny Aronoff, Jim Keltner, Ian Thomas – drums
Bono – vocals on "Joy"
Lenny Castro, Paul Clarvis – percussion
Matt Clifford – piano, Hammond organ B3, Fender Rhodes, mellotron, keyboards, synthesizer, backing vocals, programming
Kyle Cook – lead guitar on track 1
Mike Dolan, Milton McDonald – guitar
Jerry Duplessis, Phil Spalding, Christian Frederickson – bass guitar
Marti Frederiksen – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums, backing vocals, programming
Martin Heyes – drum programming
Elizabeth Jagger – backing vocals on "Brand New Set of Rules"
Georgia May Jagger – backing vocals on "Brand New Set of Rules"
Wyclef Jean – electric guitar, Spanish guitar on "Hide Away"
Steve Knightley – cello
Lenny Kravitz – electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, tambourine, backing vocals on "God Gave Me Everything"
Joe Perry – guitar on "Everybody Getting High" and "Too Far Gone"
Mikal Reid – trumpet, programming
Craig Ross – twelve-string guitar, acoustic guitar
Neil Sidwell – trombone
Steve Sidwell – trumpet
Rob Thomas – backing vocals on "Visions of Paradise"
Pete Townshend – guitar on "Joy" and "Gun"
Ruby Turner – backing vocals
Chris White – tenor saxophone
Always surprises me to see Joe Perry involved with a Mick project, but there you have it.

Well, it follows the pattern of working which brought us Keith's last solo album.
It does seem an odd way of working, but not unusual. Macca seems to have been working on his (now released) album for years. He also uses different Producers.
Others, like Dylan for example go straight in ..and within a week there you have it...another classic.
