Sir Mick Jagger’s latest project has hit a slight snag as the supergroup he has put together have been compelled to cut down the running times of tracks following their recording of “hour-long” jams. The 68-year-old Rolling Stones legend has been working with singers Dave Stewart and Joss Stone, as well as reggae star Damian Marley and AR Rahman – who won an Oscar for composing the music on hit movie Slumdog Millionaire – under the sobriquet SuperHeavy. While the album is scheduled to hit stores next month, Dave revealed that editing the recording has become the band’s main concern ahead of its release date. Dave spoke to BBC One programme The Andrew Marr Show, explaining that “it’s a whole fusion of different styles – Damian Marley’s Jamaican, AR Rahman is Indian and Mick’s from England, so am I, and Joss is from Devon”. The 58-year-old – who is probably most famous for his time with 1980s pop sensations Eurythmics – added that “some of the first songs were an hour long, (so) we had to edit them down”. He added that “we wrote about 30 songs and then we brought it back down to 16 and the album’s out in September”.
