Release Notes:
--------
Mick Jagger has teamed up with Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, soul singer Joss
Stone, Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack composer A.R.Rahman and reggae star Damian
Marley to form a band cooperative project called SuperHeavy. This diverse and
eclectic line up who share eleven Grammy Awards between them, have been
recording together in various studios around the world, with the majority of the
tracks on the project laid down over three weeks in Los Angeles earlier this
year. The album will be unveiled in September and tracks include the first
single 'Miracle Worker', plus 'One Day One Night', 'Energy', 'Unbelievable,'
'SuperHeavy,' I Can't Take It No More,' 'You're Never Gonna Change' and 'I Don't
Mind.'

A promo video for 'Miracle Worker' will be shot later this month and will
feature Jagger, Stewart, Marley, Stone and Rahman.

It's little wonder that Stewart refers to SuperHeavy as, "A mad alchemist type
experiment". Fusing the talents of one of the greatest front-men of all time, a
two time Academy award winning Indian composer, a soul vocal prodigy, a three
time Grammy winning reggae star, and one of the most sought after producers in
the world, you would expect the explosive results to defy categorisation.

SuperHeavy came together after Jagger and Stewart considered what a band
comprising of musicians from different genres would sound like. Jagger explains,
"Dave really wanted to make a record with a different group of musicians, in
other words, with different backgrounds of music. Instead of everyone being a
rock musician, or basically a blues musician, or some other genre, he wanted to
get as many genres together that would fit. I said it sounds like a good idea, I
never thought it would actually happen."

Yet soon enough Jagger found himself back in the studio with Stewart and Joss
Stone, having previously worked together on the 2004 Alfie movie soundtrack.
Stewart says Stone was, "an obvious choice for us. She's such an incredible
singer and spirit." Stewart and Jagger's dream team took further shape when they
were inspired to bring Damian Marley into the mix, says Stewart, "We'd always
wanted a Jamaican musician because Mick and I are crazy about Jamaica and
Jamaican music. Stewart has worked with legend Jimmy Cliff while Mick has
duetted with Peter Tosh from the Wailers on the Tempatations tune "Don't Look
Back" in 1978.

We were listening to loads of stuff and suddenly a light bulb went off and we
thought about Damian Marley." Jagger had long been a fan of Marley's, fresh from
another cross-genre collaboration with American rapper Nas, citing his strength
as a lyricist and toaster along with his penchant for experimentation and
collaborative spirit. Marley brought on board his rhythm section, bassist and
composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick, while Stewart introduced the
band to his long-term collaborator Ann Marie Calhoun, a rock violinist who had
previously worked with the Foo Fighters.

Recording in LA meant the band's path crossed with legendary Indian composer
A.R. Rahman, in the City of Angels fresh from his Slumdog Millionaire Oscar
glory. Jagger explains, "We didn't know what kind of music we'd make, we didn't
know if it would be any good, but we hoped we'd have fun." They were thrilled to
have Rahman on board, Stewart says, "He brings so much musical knowledge,
amazing musicianship, melody and singing power from a different culture."

Despite their disparate backgrounds, they instantly connected and hit the ground
running, writing twenty-two songs in the first six days. Stone was thrilled with
the results, "That's what you need, all these opinionated people who have been
brilliant in their own field, shove them together and see what comes out. It's
really unexpected, it's mind blowing" she enthuses. Similarly enthused was
Rahman, "The first day I was in a daze thinking, 'What am I doing? What's my
role?' and then slowly we started writing with each other, and it was great. It
took me way back to my high school days when I was playing in a rock band, but
this one was a real one!" Jagger says of the writing process, "We ran the gamut
of all our different styles mixed up, so we got Joss singing, Damian doing
toasting, and me singing different styles."

However, despite the free flow of creative juices and the easy rapport they
established, getting the band together in one place became very difficult, as
Stewart explains, "It's the most complicated record ever made. Imagine, some of
it's recorded in LA, some of it's recorded in the South of France, some of it's
recorded off the coast of Cyprus, some of it's recorded in Turkey, some of it's
recorded in Miami, some of it's recorded in the Caribbean, and some of it's
recorded in Chennai, in India."

The project needed a name. Marley had been riffing the term "SuperHeavy",
inspired by Muhammad Ali being the super heavy weight champion of the world and
the phrase became the band's catchphrase, "It was Mick who said, 'Why don't we
call it SuperHeavy?", recalls Stewart, "We all thought about it for ages and
then it sort of stuck."

SuperHeavy is a new and spontaneous way of working for all the collaborators as
Jagger explains, "I said to Dave, normally [with the Stones] we'd always have
written songs before we go into the studio, but the jam sessions resulted in
some great work believes Stone, "It felt better when we were just jamming, that
way we made it up as we went along and it was easy."

The band found a harmonious way of working together, "With five of you everyone
has to give and take quite a lot. We tried to understand everyone wouldn't be
too egotistical, start throwing things around the studio, we wouldn't have
fights!" says Jagger. However they weren't averse to telling each other to be
better either, Jagger continues, "We were writing a lot of stuff and throwing it
away. I would say, 'That's rubbish, another clich� Joss', and she'd say, 'Well
you come up with something then!'" The experience was refreshing and exciting
for the band, "We're four vocalists, we've never worked like that before. It's
great because the whole burdens not on you, and that made it fun." Jagger
enthuses.

Back to that alchemical experiment, Jagger, Stewart, Marley, Rahman and Stone
appear to have created a new genre. It's a new kind of music, it's a new genre,
one that cannot be placed" says Stone. Yet, Jagger is keen to point out the
music is accessible, "It's very approachable. 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."

A first for Mick Jagger is singing in Urdu, on a song composed by Rahman,
entitled "Satyameva Jayate", meaning, "the truth alone triumphs", Rahman wrote
the song after some gentle teasing from the others. Rahman explains, "In the
daytime I was playing with them, in the night time and evenings I was gigging"
"Then", says Jagger, "He didn't come into the studio one day, so I said,
'Where's A.R?' and he came in really late at night, really pleased saying, 'I've
got my song!' I manage one line in Urdu, only one!"

Marley's way of working was different to the rest of the band. Stone reveals,
"Damian is kind of quiet but he has some brilliant ideas. He works on stuff at
night. Sometimes he'll just go away and sit with the lyrics and bring something
to it. His rhythm section brings so much. He has his own thing going in the next
room so I pop in and out." Marley would work on toasting over the record by
himself and re-join the band when he was happy with it.

As far as the future of SuperHeavy goes, "We haven't planned to do a tour or
anything, but if people really like it maybe we will. We'd love to get out and
play some of it live," says Jagger humbly. "As soon as we started playing
together in the studio it gelled, and all these different styles didn't seem to
be a problem to make them fit together... I hope people will like it...."
