AR Rahman is super musical: Mick Jagger

International musician Mick Jagger admits that he just ‘went with the flow’ when crooning in Sanskrit with Oscar–winning musician AR Rahman.

“It was great working with AR and crooning in Sanskrit. We just went with the flow and did it,” admits Mick in an interview about singing the track 'Satyameva Jayate', the second single on their upcoming album.

With Rahman also a member of the band, Mick has a few sweet words for him as he speaks about the Madras Maestro. He briefly says, “My experience with AR was great; he is a very sweet person, super musical and has added a completely different dimension to the record.”

Being a chief patron of the Jodhpur music festival along with Gaj Singh, a member of the erstwhile royal family there, he seems excited about its prospects. “Jodhpur Music festival has got the balance of combining different styles and influences with the roots remaining intact,” he says.

Mick has an interesting take when it comes to Indian music. “I like Indian music, it’s extensive. India offers such pure and fusion forms of music, which is interesting to hear,” he says.

It might sound disappointing but Mick admits that he is clueless about Bollywood. “I’m not familiar with Indian films,” he reveals
He seems more excited to talk about the other musicians on his band too — Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, and Damian Marley – all great musicians in their own right.

“Dave always makes me finish what I’ve started which is not always what I do when I’m left on my own, Joss brings the female voice, obviously, and the English soul thing. I’ve worked with her before, hence knew her capabilities and that she was very easy to work with, and Damian has brought with him a rhythm section consisting of bassist,” he says
