A estas alturas Mick Jagger ha decidido montar un supergrupo llamado Super Heavy junto a Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Joss Stone y Damian Marley. De hecho han estado grabando en secreto durante 19 meses y se espera que lancen un disco para septiembre
“It’s different from anything else I’ve ever been involved in,” Jagger tells Rolling Stone. “The music is very wide-ranging – from reggae to ballads to Indian songs in Urdu.” As the magazine reports, the group formed two years ago, when Stewart approached Jagger with ideas to meld different sounds he’d been picking up.
Stewart tells Rolling Stone: “I live in Lime Hall right above St. Ann’s Bay. It’s kind of the jungle, and sometimes I’d hear three sound systems all playing different things. I always love that, along with Indian orchestras. I said to Mick, ‘How could we make a fusion?’ We were talking about an experiment, and then we started talking about voices. It was all born from that conversation.”
Both Jagger and Stewart digress on the band’s name (Marley came up with it), some new songwriting techniques (one of which included a 22 minute jam shortened into a six minute song), and how it will be, according to Jagger, “a different kind of record than what people would expect.”
Jagger told The Hollywood Reporter that the project had initially started with “ideas, a few guitar riffs and a few snippets of lyrics”, adding: "It's not my usual sort of way of working. You always want to leave some room for improvisation, but you need to have something, some songs, when you walk into the studio.
“It evolved very quickly. We sat around with our little pads [writing]. We did do a lot of jams but it’s all coherent and arranged. We just wrote them quickly.”
Jagger had previously compared Super Heavy to The Rolling Stones, claiming: "If you're a Rolling Stones fan there's definitely stuff you can relate to. Other stuff that you can't relate to so much, maybe if you listen you'll enjoy it. I don't think it's so far off the beaten track that you can't understand it."
