History


The existence of SuperHeavy was secret until May 2011.[3] Mick Jagger, English musician and the lead vocalist of rock band the Rolling Stones, announced its formation on 20 May 2011.[4] SuperHeavy was Dave Stewart's idea.[4] Inspired by the sounds washing into his home in St Ann's Bay, Jamaica, Stewart urged Jagger to fuse their sound with that of Indian orchestras.[5] Stewart and Jagger had mutual liking for Indian orchestrations; thus, A. R. Rahman was added to the supergroup.[6] The name of the band is said to be inspired by Muhammad Ali.[7]

In early 2009, Jagger, Rahman, Stewart, Joss Stone and Damian Marley experimented at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, California, trying to "write songs which had meaning",[8] during which they recorded 29 songs in 10 days.[9] SuperHeavy is rounded out by Marley's rhythm section of bassist/composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick along with a longtime Stewart collaborator, rock violinist Ann Marie Calhoun.[10]

The group began recording their self-titled debut album in early 2009 at a studio in Los Angeles.[citation needed] The album was previewed at Jim Henson Studios, Los Angeles, on 30 June 2011. The band played eight of the recorded songs at the event.[11] Their debut single, "Miracle Worker", released on 6 July 2011, received mostly positive reviews.[12][13] Mick Jagger sings in Sanskrit on "Satyameva Jayathe" ("truth alone triumphs"), the second single, released on 9 August 2011. Composed by Rahman, the song also features Stewart, Stone and Marley.[14]
