Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "We've done about 14 songs, it's a mixture of stuff we never released which is worthy of releasing and there's some new stuff which is really wonderful. Rod is writing the lyrics and he's really keen on it."
Kenney has also spilled on the Faces' live plans, revealing that the band intend to play several massive shows and are eyeing up venues such as The O2 in London and New York's Maddison Square Garden.

Sir Rod, 76, and 74-year-old Ronnie teamed up with their old drummer Kenney Jones for a one-off reunion to close the Brit Awards.

The 74-year-old guitarist – who is also working with former Stones bandmate Mick Taylor on a tribute album to blues legend Jimmy Reed – is also a respected artist but his main focus at the moment is music and he’s desperate to get back on stage.
The band – including late members bassist Ronnie Lane and keyboard player Ian McLagan – shot to fame nearly half a century ago with hits such as Stay With Me, Ooh La La and Cindy Incidentally before splitting in 1975.
Now Sir Rod’s missus Penny Lancaster, 49, and 43-year-old Sally Wood are pestering their husbands to make a full-time comeback.
Loose Women star Penny said: “Us wives are trying to get the boys back together. There’s nothing like them.”
The three surviving members last played together at Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Surrey in 2015, raising more than £100,000 for the fight against prostate cancer, in what was their first gig for 40 years.
Penny added: “They did an incredible night – the room was alive and I’ve never felt so excited about a performance.
"This show may be 40 years old, but the Faces are 51 years old," Stewart said, referring to the bluesy hard rock outfit that formed out of Small Faces decades ago in the U.K. "There used to be five of us, and now there's three," he said, before inviting out the fellow two surviving members -- Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones -- for a little reunion-
