I just hope Hackney Diamonds is like Some Girls - perceived at the time as a huge "comeback" with a lot of airtime, played in discos, and a great tour. And of course the songs are simply great.
As far as I know they will never do something they already did
I actually agree. I was speaking about the result, not the content.

so tell us on which ones Keith sings

So based on that song list and the line „Don‘t get angry, get it fixed“in the Hackney Diamonds Ad, I would assume we can expect the first single to be „Angry“. And if indeed Mr. AW is co-writer and potentially producer of that song, the tune may have a quite contemporary sound, also some indication for a 1st single?
. I don’t get why 2 of the greatest rock writers in history need Andrew Watt as a co-writerQuote

Well spotted, looks like another piece of the puzzle has found its place !
As for "Hackney Diamonds" it seems it's the brainchild of the UMG marketing team and/or consultants tasked to find a "concept" for a loose set of songs...well at least it sounds interesting ;-)

"Morning Joe Cues" must be about the insanity of current American politics , "Morning Joe" being the daily news show on MSNBC.

ASCAP also lists Keith and Paul Shaffer as composers of "Friday Night Videos Cues." It's possible this is just from MSNBC's show coming in and out of commercials and not an actual album track.

Why do they have to give credit to Steve?Just because he is a friend of Keith?
You think co-writing credits on "Almost Hear You Sigh" and "One More Shot" were tokens of friendship? They write together. Mick and Keith worked on "Living in a Ghost Town" with Steve at Germano Studios. It isn't a shock to think he might have a producer or pre-production credit or even another songwriting credit.
I mentioned Matt as well. He's almost certainly going to have a producer or pre-production credit and arranger credit somewhere. Matt signed with a major publisher so his representation could guarantee he gets credit for work he completes. The press release said as much.
Now, how me noting Andrew Watt's co-writing credits are surprising in the face of nothing for Matt or Steve translates into "they have to give credit to Steve" is probably something you need to ask yourself. I said nothing about deserve or must.

Twitter and IG account @hackneydiamonds, also set up in April, just like the website.
(However, the account @hackneydiamonds2023 with the profile photo of Hackney Empire was only set up in August.

Guessing the April ones are legit but the August one isn't.

Yet some big fans are following the one set up in August...

In this picture, written beneath "Drive Me Too Hard", appears to be a song title of "Get Out Of My Way". I'm not familiar with this title.

I was listening again to Every Loser by Iggy Pop just to try to infer something about what could be an Andrew Watt input on a "established rock star" new album.
