Our Take

Ah, Sting, the man, the myth, the tantric legend. The Last Ship is his latest opus, a concept album inspired by his childhood memories of growing up in the shipbuilding town of Wallsend.

The album sails through themes of love, loss, and hard graft, with Sting's distinctive vocals guiding us through this maritime journey. The infectious melodies and clever wordplay keep us engaged from start to finish, much like a sailor navigating treacherous waters.

Tracks like "Practical Arrangement" and "The Night the Pugilist Learned How to Dance" showcase Sting's lyrical prowess, while "Dead Man's Boots" and "The Last Ship" tug at the heartstrings with their poignant storytelling.

But the real standout moment comes in the form of "Ballad of the Great Eastern," a haunting ode to the pioneering ship that gives the album its title. Sting's emotive delivery and the sweeping orchestration make this track a true highlight.

The Last Ship may not be your typical Sting record, but it's a testament to his versatility as an artist. So hop on board, set sail with him, and let the music carry you away to distant shores. Bon voyage, mateys!

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.
