SuperHeavy is a one-of-a-kind supergroup formed by Dave Stewart, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A. R. Rahman. Their self-titled album, released in 2011, is a bold mix of rock, soul, reggae, and Indian influences. Dave Stewart was the driving force behind the project, bringing together this remarkable line-up and helping to shape the album’s adventurous sound as producer, guitarist, and songwriter. Recording took place in several locations around the world, including Los Angeles and Miami, but some of the most memorable sessions happened aboard Paul Allen’s luxury yacht, Octopus, which features a state-of-the-art recording studio. The group sailed around Greece and Turkey, working in total privacy and drawing inspiration from their surroundings. Tracks like “Miracle Worker” and “Beautiful People” showcase the group’s collaborative spirit.
