Mick Jagger's SuperHeavy Supergroup to Drop Album in September

by Phil Gallo | June 23, 2011

Grammy Images

Universal Music's A&M will release the album from SuperHeavy, a group featuring Mick Jagger, Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, singer Joss Stone, composer A.R. Rahman and reggae artist Damian Marley. No exact release date is set. An official release said the album will be unveiled in September; the first single is titled "Miracle Worker" and the five stars will be recording a video for the track. Jagger and Stewart co-produced the album.

Recording in various studios around the world -- France, Cyprus, Miami, India -- the majority of the tracks laid down over three weeks in Los Angeles earlier this year. The quartet wrote 22 songs in their first six days together. The term "SuperHeavy" was inspired by Muhammad Ali.

Jagger and Stewart had worked together on the 2004 soundtrack to the film "Alfie," and Stewart produced Stone's last album. Both wanted to bring in a Jamaican musician and Damian Marley entered the picture with his rhythm section, bassist and composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick. They met Rahman while recording in Los Angeles.

According to the band's bio, SuperHeavy came together after Jagger and Stewart wondered what a band of musicians from different genres would sound like. Jagger had his doubts it would come together.

One of the first on the album is Jagger singing in Urdu. He takes lead on Rahman's song "Satyameva Jayate," which translates to "the truth alone triumphs."

Really liked some of the stuff in the clip posted yesterday.
Hope it's back somewhere soon...

I dont see this becoming 'Super' popular. By using the the word "Super" in the name, is pushes the point down our throats. "Superheavy" is a self-proclaimed "Superspecial" band and sounds pompous, doesnt it? Soon we'll see how Super this group actually is! A single and video coming in September.

As much as I want to goof on this and call it "SUPERSLEEPY" I can't help but get excited while watching that 53 second video. I see Mick in there. Holy Fuck! Mick is a rock god, right? Fuck yeah. It's cool that Mick is expressing himself though new music even though it's not with the Stones. It's better than the alternative. He could be in fucking retirement but instead our lead singer is cutting a new album. Good for him.

Dave Stewart's been a very busy man. Besides SuperHeavy, he's worked on recent albums with Stevie Nicks and Joss Stone, and has his own solo record coming out soon.
Below are excerpts from a wide ranging interview posted today @ http://www.musicradar.com/]musicradar.com:[/url]

Corbis

...in September Stewart will unveil an intriguing 'supergroup' Super Heavy, in which he's teamed with Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damien Marley and AR Rahman. "Some might say it's an odd mix," says Stewart. "But that's kind of what I do: I take disparate talents, put them all together and see if I can come up with something new and different. With Super Heavy, I'd say that's been realized."

And if you weren't busy enough, now you have a band called Super Heavy. Joss Stone is in it, as is Mick Jagger, Damien Marley and AR Rahman. How did this come into being, and what can we expect?

"Well, it's been going on for quite a while, actually, pretty much in secret. But in the last year or so, we've been taking our jam sessions and turning them into songs and things, and it's really sounding huge. We've got a lot of material that we've managed to whittle down to 18 songs, so we're in the process of editing those and shooting videos and making artwork. It's a fun thing.

"Musically, I don't know if it's 'super heavy.' That name came up when Damien was doing vocals on a song, and he started going, 'Heavy, heavy…we're super heavy!' And that just kind of stuck, you know? It's more super-heavy in a Jamaican way, not so much a heavy rock way. I think we'll have a single coming out in a few weeks, and then the album will be in the fall."

Then him and Keith blame each other for the lack of creativity.

Not sure who wrote what in Eurythmics, but they had a few good songs.

@Mel Belli - same old story, he comes up with what he thinks the fans want, like when they play the war horses on stage to avoid the "when we play a new song I see all these blank stares" annoyance. Why would he take any risks...

So it looks like someone saved the video, can it find its way onto YouTube or elsewhere ? Wink

Super Heavy in a Jamacian way = Super Stoned in a spaced out way. This could be good after all!
