World-renowned Sting presents his new album 'My Songs' – a collection of the most beloved and popular songs from the 17-time GRAMMY winner's remarkable musical career, reworked and enriched in a contemporary style.
Speaking about the album, Sting said: “'My Songs' is my life in songs. Some of them reconstructed, some of them reformulated, but all of them with a contemporary sound.”
'My Songs' is an album rich in modernized recordings, faithful to the original arrangements, and celebrating Sting's impressive musical career as one of the most distinctive and influential artists. Since forming the band The Police in 1977 with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, Sting has continuously proven himself as a global music icon with over 100 million records sold and numerous honors along the way.
Fans will be able to hear Sting's fresh new take on hits like “Englishman In New York,” “Fields Of Gold,” “Shape Of My Heart,” “Every Breath You Take,” “Roxanne,” “Message In A Bottle” and many more.
The album will be accompanied by liner notes written by Sting, in which he shares the personal stories behind each song and takes a look at the process of creating some of the most enduring songs of all time.
In the summer of 2018, following Sting's hugely successful collaboration with reggae star Shaggy - the GRAMMY-winning and chart-topping album '44/876' - the iconic duo embarked on a world tour across North and South America, Eastern Europe and this year will continue with a series of concerts in the UK from 19/05 to 25/05. Immediately following the end of the duo's joint concerts, Sting embarks on a solo world tour in support of his new album 'My Songs', which will include a series of dynamic shows accompanied by electronic and rock ensembles.
'My Songs' Summer Tour starts on 28/05 in Paris and will also pass through Bulgaria with the star's concert on 01/06 at the Arena Armeec Hall in Sofia.
'My Songs' was produced by Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Lady Gaga, Robyn), Dave Audé (Bruno Mars, Selena Gomez) and Jerry Fuentes (The Last Bandoleros). The album was mixed by Robert Orton (Lana Del Rey, Mumford & Sons) and engineered by Tony Lake (Sting, Shaggy).
'My Songs' is being released in standard CD and vinyl formats, while the deluxe CD edition will include live performances of 'Synchronicity II', 'Next To You', 'Spirits In the Material World' and 'Fragile'.
