Universal Music has confirmed it will handle the stateside release of the debut album by Mick Jagger’s new supergroup, SuperHeavy. A&M Records will release the album in the rest of the world. The yet-to-be-titled disc will be available sometime in September, and the first single is titled “Miracle Worker.”
SuperHeavy sprang from an idea Jagger and Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart had to form a band culled from a variety of genres. In addition to Jagger and Stewart, the group consists of singer Joss Stone, reggae artist Damian Marley, and Indian composer A.R. Rahman. Marley’s rhythm section – bassist Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick – are on-board as well.
The group reportedly wrote 22 songs during their first six days together. Most of the tracks for the album were cut in Los Angeles during a three-week period earlier this year. The band name, SuperHeavy, was inspired by Muhammad Ali.
