Album: STING Duets
Rating: 8.6
Sting, the ever-tan, ever-stylish godfather of cool, is back with a star-studded duets album that's as smooth as his silk shirts. From sultry ballads to upbeat numbers, "STING Duets" showcases the enduring talent of a man who has been churning out hits since before some of us were even born.
The opening track, "Desert Rose" with Cheb Mami, sets the tone for the album with its hypnotic rhythms and ethereal vocals. As Sting's voice weaves in and out of Mami's Arabic melodies, you can't help but be transported to a sandy dune somewhere far, far away.
But it's not all exotic sounds and world music influences. The collaboration with Shaggy on "Don't Make Me Wait" is a surprising delight, with the unlikely duo blending their reggae-infused styles effortlessly. Who knew Sting could pull off a Caribbean vibe with such ease?
Other standout tracks include "Whenever I Say Your Name" featuring Mary J. Blige, where the two powerhouse vocalists go head-to-head in a battle of soulful crooning. And of course, the album wouldn't be complete without the iconic duet with Eric Clapton on "It's Probably Me".
Overall, "STING Duets" is a testament to Sting's versatility as an artist and his ability to collaborate with a diverse range of musicians. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just dipping your toes into the world of Sting, this album is a must-listen for music lovers of all stripes.

About the artist
Sting
Sting: the enigmatic Englishman, the man with the voice that launched a thousand tantric love songs, the one who turned every breath you take into a haunting melody. With a career spanning decades, Sting has seamlessly navigated the waters of rock, jazz, reggae, and even classical music, proving time and time again that he is a true musical chameleon. Born Gordon Sumner in Wallsend, England, Sting first rose to fame as the frontman of The Police in the late 1970s, gracing the world with hits like "Roxanne" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic." But it was his solo career that truly solidified his status as a musical icon, with albums like "Ten Summoner's Tales" and "Mercury Falling" showcasing his lyrical prowess and unmatched vocal range. Sting's musical talents are as diverse as his interests, which range from environmental activism to acting. He's a bit of a Renaissance man, if you will, proving that he's not just a one-trick pony. Plus, the man can wield a bass guitar like nobody's business, effortlessly adding a touch of class to every song he touches. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying Sting's impact on the music world. So next time you find yourself walking on the moon or feeling a little bit Englishman in New York, remember to tip your hat to the man, the myth, the legend: Sting.
