Kristin Burns

Back in the spring, when the band SuperHeavy — featuring the WTF-lineup of Mick Jagger, the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A.R. Rahman — was announced, Vulture's helpful commentary was that "either these people have the most scintillating conversations ever heard, or they just sit around after practice avoiding eye contact." Luckily, by way of premiering their debut track, "Miracle Worker," Super Heavy has released an in-studio clip, and it is fascinating. At one point, the principals are all standing around, amicably discussing what to do with the next part of a song. Stone throws out some lyrics. Stewart tells Jagger, who is rocking some sick airport newsstand sunglasses, to bring back a "great riff" he had before. Damian Marley looks like he wishes he were still chiefing blunts with Nas. And then they keep it moving forward. Is this really happening? It looks like it's really happening!

Mick Jagger's Super Heavy Single Super Sucks

Posted Thu Aug 4, 2011 by Daniel Kreps

Back in May, we told you about the new "supergroup" Super Heavy, featuring the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Indian composer A.R. Rahman, Joss Stone, Damien "Jr. Gong" Marley, and the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. A lineup that eclectic could only have two results: Either the disparate talents help bring something new to each other's genre of choice, or it sounds like an unmitigated disaster. Based on the first single "Miracle Worker," a reggae track meant to showcase Marley's skills, it's likely that Super Heavy falls into that latter category.

Built on the same beat that 90 percent of radio reggae songs use as a foundation, "Miracle Worker" kicks off with Marley and Stone trading simple verses, then Jagger sweeps in and almost resuscitates this track. It's genuinely refreshing to hear Jagger on something new after being out of the studio and off the stage for so long, but unfortunately Super Heavy take his microphone away to launch into a very adult contemporary chorus. At one point, we think we hear a fiddle. Because fiddles and reggae always go hand-in-hand.

We're not the biggest fans of Bob Marley, who has become the poster child for reggae, but we still love music from Jamaica. Legends like King Tubby, Mikey Dread, and Lee "Scratch" Perry all deserve a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and all three are perhaps more worthy than Jimmy Cliff, who was inducted in 2010. "Miracle Worker," however, is the type of reggae you'd hear a rent-a-band performing to vacationers on the deck of a Carnival Cruise line. There's nothing "super heavy" about this "supergroup," except for the way they super heavy-handedly pillage the Bob Marley songbook.

Hopefully, this is Super Heavy's one descent into Damien "Jr. Gong" Marley's reggae music, and the rest of their September-bound debut album focuses on Rahman's Bollywood soundscapes, Joss Stone's soul, and of course, Jagger's brand of rock & roll.

Why do reviewers seem to go out of their way to be unnecessarily snotty? Comparing "Miracle Worker" to something you'd hear from a rent-a-band on a Carnival Cruise? This reviewer should take that cruise and jump overboard.

I was wondering if they came up with the name while in a laundromat... Other choices included:
Gentle Cycle
Permanent Press
Damp Dry
Quick Wash
Rinse & Spin
Hand Washables
Whitest Whites (might attract the nazi crowd)
