Conversation With A DogSting

Sting ~ Conversation With A Dog

A track by Sting, the British singer-songwriter and actor.

7 on the U.

S.

charts.

Moon over Bourbon streetSting

Moon over Bourbon street-Sting

This song, released in 2010 by Sting—the Police’s bass-playing lead singer, who likely had many fans among this generation—sings of the moon hanging over a street in New Orleans, a city known as a holy land of jazz.

With its beautiful moon imagery perfectly suited to long autumn nights, the piece is made even more atmospheric by the clear tone of the soprano saxophone.

My Funny Friend And MeSting

My Funny Friend And Me – Sting

A track used in Disney’s 2000 animated film The Emperor’s New Groove.

It was released by British singer-songwriter Sting.

The track was a hit in countries such as the United States, Italy, and Switzerland, and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Morning Is Coming (with Shaggy)Sting

Sting, Shaggy – Morning Is Coming (Audio)

Sting often tackles themes that question the world we live in or take a cynical angle.

While he previously released several reggae numbers with The Police, this track is a solo release.

He’s teamed up with the legendary Jamaican-American reggae DJ Shaggy.

With Sting’s involvement, it seems to take on that distinctive, richly textured flavor of British rock—something that sets it apart.

Be sure to give it a listen on a hot summer day!

FragileSting

Sting, Yo-Yo Ma February 8, 2002-Salt Lake 2002_ Opening Ceremony.

A song by Sting.

I remember he performed with the world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma at the athletes’ oath ceremony during the Salt Lake City Olympics.

It feels a bit strange that a self-professed—and widely acknowledged—egotist would sing so thoughtfully about others, but it still resonates with the heart.

Spread A Little HappinessSting

Sting – Spread A Little Happiness

Included on the 1982 album Brimstone & Treacle soundtrack.

It was used in the film of the same name released that same year.

Born in 1951, he is a British singer-songwriter.

This single was written two years before his band went on hiatus, for a BBC television series film.

I think this song clearly reflects Sting’s musical style, which had already been leaning toward jazz at the time.

Sacred LoveSting

Sacred Love

Sting often incorporates elements of world music, and even in Sacred Love those elements, though subtle, are firmly woven in.

This piece also became the title track of his seventh album, known as one of his masterpieces, and it’s crafted with a distinctive sound rooted in blues and funk.

The intro in particular blends world music with contemporary music, creating a very unique atmosphere.
