It felt good to pack the ego and simply be a band member, says music maestro A.R. Rahman who has added two songs to the latest album of international group SuperHeavy.
"SuperHeavy does have strong Indian influences. There is a Sanskrit number called Satyameva jayate and a romantic number called Mahiya," Rahman said.
The other band members — Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, singer-songwriter Joss Stone, musician Dave Stewart and Jamaican reggae artist Damian Marley — have churned out a 16-song album.
But since all the artists belong to different cultures, isn't it difficult to come to a common point?
"It's different when you're probably heading or doing something independently — like Mick does his own thing. Stone and Dave — they are independent producers, and I do my own music. But here as a band you sometimes take a back seat and enjoy the process, pack all your ego and just be like one family. It strangely felt good doing that," said Rahman.
"You could see in the music that nobody is overpowering."
The album will be released at the end of September.
