OK.. the video is just too much...

The whole "feel" of the song is off to me. I don't know what bothers me most- the reggae or Micks over the top singing. Josh is excellent. But the three of them together just doesn't cut it for me. The video really doesn't help the song either. I really am trying to like it.....

Have you tried this video? Some of the other tracks seem promising and Mick is sounding good

I'd have thought the song SuperHeavy would be a more natural first single. Or maybe I Just Can't Take It No More to get a bit of Mick vs Keith media attention.

I suppose, with the first two songs being a reggae and a song in Indian they were trying to emphasise the cultural fusion aspect of the group though.

You're able to glean the subject matter of a song by hearing a few seconds of the chorus? As for the media, Mick has kept the focus on SH and deftly avoided discussion of his day job.

Sneak Peek At Jagger's Supergroup Released

Friday August 12, 2011

A glimpse of Mick Jagger's supergroup has been released with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of its first single and video.

The Rolling Stones frontman is heading up the group named SuperHeavy, which mixes up the almighty talent of ex-Eurythmics guitarist and producer Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and Slumdog Millionaire composer A R Rahman.

Their sound combines different styles ranging from reggae to Indian music.

The artists made songs up in the studio as they went along.

"As soon as we started to play together in the studio it gelled and all these different styles didn't seem to be a problem to make them fit together," Dave Stewart said.

The group's first two singles include Miracle Worker and Satyameva Jayate.

SuperHeavy's debut album will hit stores 19 September.

New music: SuperHeavy – Miracle Worker

Can this supergroup featuring Mick Jagger and Joss Stone buck the trend and be more than the sum of its parts?

From Cream to Monsters of Folk to the Abba All-stars (cruelly, they split after just one performance), the history of supergroups is littered with dream collaborations (Jay-Z and Kanye West's pairing), oddly unnecessary bass guitar workouts and, usually, a trail of bruised egos. Never one to miss the chance to flex his own ego, Mick Jagger announced the formation of SuperHeavy in May this year, featuring Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, Damian Marley and producer/composer AR Rahman. Apparently, the initial recording sessions resulted in songs that were more than an hour long, all recorded under the banner of writing songs that "had a meaning". From the 35 hours of music recorded, the album, also called SuperHeavy, selects 12 tracks (none of them an hour long), with the future single Satyameva Jayate featuring Jagger singing in Sanskrit.

Still, let's not get ahead of ourselves. First up is the video for Miracle Worker, a reggae number with a hint of No Doubt. Stone sings with Marley before a fantastically awkward Jagger emerges to drawl a litany of medical metaphors, including "no need for anaesthetics, I'm gonna check your chart". In the video the group go about their day – Stone selling flowers, Marley playing records, Rahman sitting in a car, Stewart getting a tattoo (for some reason, he's billed as the band's rebel) and Jagger fidgeting awkwardly in a bright pink suit. Like the song, it's a mess but there's something oddly compelling about it.

SuperHeavy’s Third Single – Mahiya

Posted August 15 2011

SuperHeavy is out with their third single – Mahiya (thanks a lot to @shaneem for the info). Quite obviously this is also a work from A R Rahman, evident from the predominantly Hindi/Urdu-based lyrics rendered by ARR. The sinister Arabic-tinged arrangement also bears ARR elements. And to be frank, I like this song best of the three singles. But, I must add, as an Indian fan of ARR. The song is very Indian in its sound barring the brief cameos from Joss Stone and Damien Marley, so it is bound to appeal to us. I am not very sure how the Western audience will take it though. And no sign of Jagger, beginning to wonder if his role is primarily to add to the brand value. In any case, you can listen to the song here.

Music Aloud

One of the bonus tracks. Not the full song, but a healthy three minute sample.
Very close on the heels of 'Satyameva Jayathe', so doubt the "single" claim is accurate - at least not yet.

Writer might not have heard MJ, but he's in there...

I like this song! At first I was unsure but after 3-5 listens it's grown on me. The writer wondering if Mick is only there to add "brand value" should realise tha he has a writing credit on most of the songs and that in a group of so many vocalists will feature songs where one isn't as prominant as the other etc. So if it really was a brand exercise to have Mick in then they'd put out all the songs that feature him most heavily.

Anyhow, I thought he was pretty prominant on the previous song.

The rock icon is singing a new tune, literally. The Rolling Stones singer has recorded a song in ancient Sanskrit, "Satyameva Jayate." The single is being released under the band SuperHeavy, which also features the Rolling Stones' Dave Stewart, Oscar winner A.R. Rahman and Joss Stone.
