A review from RollingStone mag-

the cd recieved 4stars
I believe its a 5star deal, well at least 4 and3/4s
"...terrifically fun..." YES !!!

Good read- LOL

By Will Hermes
September 20, 2011

At this point, it would seem that Mick Jagger's only burden is having to be Mick Jagger all the time. The terrifically fun SuperHeavy solves that problem. Jagger passes frontman duties around like a spliff, with a spectacularly motley crew: reggae royalty Damian Marley, son of Bob; New Wave survivor Dave Stewart; also-ran U.K. soul diva Joss Stone; and Bollywood singer and composer A.R. Rahman. Imagine an awards-show-scale revue on the floor of the U.N. General Assembly with musical direction by M.I.A., and you've got some idea of the glitzy craziness here. On "Satyameva Jayathe," Jagger and Rahman trade Hindi verses over Celtic-Indian fiddle. On "Energy," a U2-style synth-pop jam with a leadoff by Marley, Jagger raps – raps! – and sounds positively hot-wired. On "One Day One Night," Jagger comes on like a broken hearted drunk in a Bukowski novel, smearing vocal vibrato all over. If the songs sometimes feel a bit undercooked, the spirit is dazzling. On "I Can’t Take It No More," Stone yells, "Whatthe fuck is going on?" which pretty much sums the album up. That song – where Jagger shouts, "I can’t fake it no more!"- may or may not be an answer to Keith's shit-talking memoir. One thing's for sure: SuperHeavy is the wildest thing he's ever done outside of the Stones.

It probably a pretty good album, though not my thing...simply because
it is all over the place. I listen to Bollywood when i want to listen to Bollywood.
I listen to synth-pop when I want to listen to synth-pop, etc etc

I don't think there will be a SH II.

Like it was said here or another thread by Sir Gazza...it's just a "vanity project"
The thing I can't believe is this was 3 years in the making...

It will be interesting though if they do shows in Mexico this spring as hinted by Damien a few weeks ago.

Dave Stewart opens up about Mick Jagger and the future of SuperHeavy

Carla Hay
Rolling Stones Examiner
http://www.examiner.com

SuperHeavy, whose members include Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart, still has a documentary in the works, and Jagger wants "Energy" to be SuperHeavy's second music video. These are some of the things that Stewart told me when I did an exclusive interview with him on February 15, 2012, while he was in Los Angeles for his tour with Joss Stone, one of the other members of SuperHeavy. The other members of the group are Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman. As of now, all of SuperHeavy's members are pursuing multiple projects. For Stewart, he has been touring (with Stone in 2012 and Stevie Nicks in 2011), promoting his solo music, and preparing for the Broadway opening of "Ghost The Musical," whose songs he co-wrote with Glen Ballard.

SuperHeavy has no plans to tour and has yet to do any official live public performances for the group's self-titled album, which was released in September 2011. (SuperHeavy's music video for "Miracle Worker," which Stewart directed, has footage of the band performing, but that was on a music-video set with an audience that consisted mostly of hired extras.) One place where SuperHeavy won't be performing is at the 2012 Olympics, since Stewart revealed during our conversation that SuperHeavy turned down an invitation to do an Olympics performance. My full interview with Stewart will be in my Celebrity Q&A column around the time that "Ghost The Musical" officially opens on Broadway in April 2012. In the meantime, here is what Stewart said when we talked about SuperHeavy.

You’ve been directing and producing a SuperHeavy documentary, which has had some footage officially released on the Internet. What is the latest status on the full-length documentary?

My little company has been making documentaries — it’s a company called Weapons of Mass Entertainment — we made a feature-film-length documentary on Stevie Nicks and Joss Stone. I just signed a six-picture deal with CineDine — a six-documentary film deal.

With SuperHeavy, I just made a documentary, which was an amazing thing to capture. I’ve probably got an hour-and-15-minute-long film. I think it’s interesting, but because things keep happening, I keep filming that.

Mick wants to make a video for [SuperHeavy song] “Energy.” It’s one of his favorites. I started to feed some of [the documentary footage] on Facebook, some little teasers. We have amazing stuff.

I know you’ve been asked this question almost every time you’ve done an interview talking about SuperHeavy, but do you think SuperHeavy will ever do a live public performance?

We would all like to, but the thing is with having a band like that, Joss and I have just been playing live. A.R. [Rahman] is busy rehearsing for the Academy Awards show. Everybody’s busy doing things, but we can all regroup at one point. It’s a mixture of five managers.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood said in a recent interview that the Rolling Stones have been invited to perform at the 2012 Olympics in London. Do you think the Stones are going to do it?

I’m not sure. They might. I think the Olympics committee has been asking a few people, hedging their bets. Why not? It would be a hell of a thing. It’s London, and it’s where the Stones are from. The funny thing is, SuperHeavy was also approached [to perform at the 2012 Olympics], because SuperHeavy is mixed culturally: Indian, Jamaican, British. It’s all very interesting.

Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese are producing a TV drama series about the music business, and Terence Winter (of “The Sopranos” and “Boardwalk Empire” fame) reportedly wrote the screenplay for the show’s pilot episode. Would you be interested in doing the soundtrack or score music for that TV series if it gets picked up by a network?

Oh yeah! I created the music for the TV series "Malibu Country” [starring Reba McEntire]. We’re making the pilot in April [2012]. So I’ve done stuff like that. Yeah, I’d work anytime with Mick and Scorsese. Obviously, it would be amazing. Mick and I have got so many great songs and experiments that nobody’s heard. Anything with Mick and Scorsese would be incredible to work on.

You mentioned earlier that SuperHeavy was asked to perform at the 2012 Olympics. It sounds like that’s not going to happen. So what would be the band’s ideal place for the first SuperHeavy live public performance?

SuperHeavy, when people realized what it was, we were asked to do everything: the Grammys, the Olympics, the opening of a balloon in Bangkok. There’s a wall of invitations.

We always talk about making it … not a secret gig, but just a small place in New York or something like that. We haven’t set anything. We went through a million different ramifications. We did the [documentary] film.

We can decide anything at any point. We’re always free to do something. Everybody wants to do something. It’s not like we have to find something to do.

Since you've been collaborating with Mick Jagger for several years, what do you think the two of you will work on next?

I have no idea. Maybe another SuperHeavy thing. I don’t know

Mick Jagger's SuperHeavy want low-key first gig

Published Monday, Feb 20 2012, 15:19 GMT | By Lewis Corner | 1 comment

SuperHeavy have revealed that they want to play their first gig in a small venue.

The supergroup - formed by Mick Jagger and also consisting of Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and AR Rahman - were asked to perform at the London 2012 Olympics.

However, the band declined the opportunity as they would prefer to make their live debut in a more intimate setting.

Stewart told Examiner.com: "We always talk about making it, well, not a secret gig, but just a small place in New York or something like that.

"We haven't set anything. We went through a million different ramifications. Everybody wants to do something. Everybody's busy doing things, but we can all regroup at one point. It's a mixture of five managers."

He added: "The funny thing is, SuperHeavy was approached to perform at the 2012 Olympics, because we are mixed culturally - Indian, Jamaican, British. It's all very interesting.

"SuperHeavy, when people realised what it was, we were asked to do everything - The Grammys, the Olympics, the opening of a balloon in Bangkok. There's a wall of invitations."

SuperHeavy's self-titled debut album reached number 13 in the UK and 26 in the US upon its release last September.

Good idea!

What's scary with SH is that I got quite excited about this new project Mick was involved in, looked forward to hearing it and actually quite liked it at first...and haven't listened to it for ages, like pretty much everything the Stones have put out apart from WS and B2B. Scary because I lack any critical/common sense at first!

Joss Stone 'targeted in murder plot over links to Royals'

A gang plotted to rob and murder Joss Stone, the pop star, because of her connections to the Royal family, a court heard today

By Sam Marsden
5:56PM GMT 18 Mar 2013
Equipping themselves with a samurai sword, body bags, balaclavas and gaffer tape, two men drove 230 miles to Devon to search for the wealthy young soul singer’s home.

Handwritten notes found in the pair’s possession referred to Stone as “a she-devil” and outlined a plan to decapitate her before dumping her body in a river, Exeter Crown Court was told.

However, they were arrested near the star’s house before they could execute their plot after first crashing their small Fiat Punto on the way to Devon and then arousing suspicion among “eagle-eyed” locals when they got lost.

Kevin Liverpool, left, and Junior Bradshaw in the dock at Exeter Crown Court (PA)

Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, allegedly targeted Stone, 25, in 2011 after she performed at charity concerts attended by the Duke of Cambridge and was a guest at his wedding to the then-Kate Middleton.

The notes found by police expressed “disapproval” of the Queen and other Royals, the court heard.

Simon Morgan, prosecuting, said: "Joss Stone associates with members of the Royal family.

“Her concerts have been attended by members of it and she was invited to the Royal wedding at the very end of April that year. Hence she became a target.”

The pair researched Stone by watching a programme she made about her previous home in Devon for a series on the MTV channel called Cribs, in which celebrities invite a camera crew to look around their palatial houses, the court heard.

Mr Liverpool also used a computer in his local library to Google information about her and other stars.

The prosecutor said: "The notebook deals with music artists. Perhaps he wasn't sure whom to choose but he settled on Joss Stone.

“He found out quite a bit about her. He knew she had made money. He obviously decided to concentrate on her."

In 2008 Stone moved to a house in Ashill, near Cullompton in Devon. Her worldwide touring schedule meant she was often away, but she was at home when Mr Liverpool and Mr Bradshaw allegedly sought to carry out their murderous plot.

Stone, whose hits include Fell In Love With A Boy and Super Duper Love, first came to fame in 2003 as a small-town teenager with a big, soulful voice, showcased on her bestselling debut album "The Soul Sessions".

Her fortune was estimated at £10 million in last year’s Sunday Times Rich List.

Mr Liverpool and Mr Bradshaw deny charges of conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to rob between January and June 2011.

The trial continues.
