They have been meeting in the last months in California and recording stuff together in the low. Mick Jagger himself says this project it’s pretty different from anything else he has done before.
“The music is very wide-ranging – from Reggae to Ballads to Indian songs in Urdu.” He adds.
The group formed after Stewart, who resides in Jamaica, called Jagger in hopes of starting an experimental fusion group. Jagger asked Marley, Stone and A.R. Rahman to join the group.
