Cannes 2011: Mick Jagger Plans “Secret” Album for Fall

05/15/11 Roger Friedman

Saturday night May 13th in Cannes: At Charles Finch‘s annual swellegant dinner at the Eden Roc in Cap d’Antibes, Mick Jagger told me — with a Cheshire cat grin– that he will release a new album in the fall. “It’s not the Rolling Stones and it’s not a solo record,” he informed me. “But it’s something special.”

As a fan of Jagger’s solo work, I was thrilled to know that we’ll hear his voice on any record soon. The Rolling Stones are mired in various contractual and personal issues that have prevented them from making new music or touring right now. Of course, it was a little ironic to hear about Jagger’s new album on the same day that Keith Richards made a brief on screen appearance in the new “Pirates” movie. But life is full of coincidences. Jagger of course was accompanied by his beautiful and talented girlfriend L’Wren Scott, who’s now designing her own highly successful fashion line.

And the secret Jagger album? All his business partner Victoria Pearman would tell me on the sly is that “it’s amazing. And that’s all I can tell you for now.” It will be Jagger’s first release for Universal Records.

Showbiz 411

I'd guess it's Super Heavy, the Dave Stewart project that reportedly also includes Joss Stone, Damian Marley and Indian composer AR Rahman.

And the same for Keith, Charlie and Ronnie. Do something that you find challenging or relaxing or that just makes you happy. I don't believe any of them will ever find those things in the same room again.

Eh?

Aside from the Cohl/Live Nation thing (which in itself doesnt prevent them from touring at all), what does this mean?

_______________________________

It is precisely the "Cohl/Live Nation" thing .. .. .. It doesn't "prevent" them entirely from touring but realistically, The major cash to be made is with one of these two entities. Anything other would be too much an experiment, and less of a payday in this fragile economy and touring market.

So while it hasn't made it "impossible" for them to tour ... ... ... it's made it difficult to consider the slimer pickens eles where.

*Besides... all they have to do is sit back and lick their chops waiting for which one will win-over and offer them the most cashola for next year. That is all their really doing anyway.. .. .. That's what they are waiting for ... the cash winner to emerge then they will go forth with them.

No offense, Ian, but it's funny how you beat the same drum over and over, even after it's been pointed out an equal number of times that the Stones are beholden to no one, and there are no guarantees that the Cohl/LiveNation lawsuit will be settled anytime soon.

Then you vanish into the ether, emerging weeks later to lather, rinse and rebeat.

Speaking of beating drums, there's your oft-stated desire for the Stones to record again.
Well they have. Kinda, sorta. With Bill even!

What's your take on the band's contribution to 'Boogie 4 Stu'?

_____________________

I know The Stones are not obligated to anyone.... but they are gonna wait and see how this plays out before makin a risky change with another organization that simply can't guarantee the kina pay-day they are used to. Realizing that there is no guarantee the lawsuit will be solved... but why not wait to see if it does get solved while keepin the unofficial 50th anniversery thing in mind...

Everything points to next year... As far as the new stuff. I haven't listened to it yet. Soon though.

Cheers.

Ian

Made me wonder too. I doubt it's the book.

Mired? NBC/Universal may be sold. Wonder if that is part of it?

Thats obviously why Michael Jackson (and other major acts since) went with AEG, then. Roll Eyes

A tour in 2011 lessens the impact and demand for a '50th anniversary' tour in 2012. Simple as that.

There's NO 'contractual' issue which prevents them from touring, which makes the report stating that there is to be misleading if not nonsensical.

Mick forms secret supergroup

WireImage

May 20, 2011

Stones legend Mick Jagger -- still smarting from a pen-lashing by bandmate Keith Richards -- has set up a new supergroup with Eurythmics star Dave Stewart, Damian Marley, Joss Stone and Indian musician and producer A.R. Rahman.

Jagger, who was sharply and repeatedly needled in Richards' best-selling autobiography, "Life," has been secretly recording with Stewart, Bob Marley's youngest son, jazz-influenced Stone and Grammy-winning Rahman, dubbed "The Mozart of Madras," who won two Oscars for "Slumdog Millionaire."

A source said, "They just finished a record and their first video and are talking to major labels about a deal. The name for the band at the moment is Super Heavy." Another source said, "Each member has a very distinct and different style, but it works. Mick has been recording with Dave for a while, and both worked with Joss in the past."

But a rep for Jagger told us, "They all thought it would be interesting and great fun to go into the studio and play some music. No video has been shot, no label in place. All a bit premature."

But if the band is a hit, it could further divert Jagger's attention from a speculated-about new Stones tour -- especially since there's currently no love lost between him and Richards, whose 2010 book was particularly withering about Jagger's solo career.

Of Jagger's first effort sans the Stones, 1985's "She's the Boss," Richards wrote, "I've never listened to [it] the whole way through. Who has? It's like 'Mein Kampf.' Everybody had a copy, but nobody listened to it."

Jagger's subsequent solo effort " 'Goddess in the Doorway' . . . was irresistible to rechristen 'Dog [Bleep] in the Doorway' . . . [Mick] says I have bad manners on the subject. But this record deal of Mick's was bad manners beyond any verbal jibes." Richards also wrote that Jagger, whom he nicknamed "Your Majesty," is packing "a tiny todger."

"Sometimes I think, 'I miss my friend,' " wrote Richards. "Where did he go?" Into the studio with someone else, it appears.
