'SuperHeavy' with Jagger: a reggae album
SuperHeavy -- Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart, Damien Marley, A.R. Rahman and Joss Stone -- is full of surprises. The single "Miracle Worker" offers a bizarre taste, with Marley toasting, "Don't be preposterous," in a call- and-response with Stone. Given the band's membership, it's surprising how dominant Marley and Rahman are on the sound of "SuperHeavy" (A&M). This is basically a reggae album, with world beat tinges, with Jagger and Stone offering support. Perhaps the biggest shock, though, is how well it works in "I Can't Take It No More."
