Sting / Duets

17-track compilation of collaborations

Sting will release a new studio album, Duets, later this month. As the title suggests, this brings together various collaborations, including those with Eric Clapton, Mylène Farmer, Mary J. Blige, Herbie Hancock and more.

The album also includes ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ with Shaggy from 2018’s 44/876 album, ‘Desert Rose’ with Cheb Mami, ‘Rise & Fall’ with Craig David (which is derived from the Ten Summoner’s Tales single ‘Shape of My Heart’) and ‘We’ll Be Together’ with Annie Lennox (which featured on the Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason soundtrack).

Eric Clapton plays on ‘It’s Probably Me’, which means it has to be the the Lethal Weapon 3 soundtrack version, since Sting re-recorded it sans Clapton for Ten Summoner’s Tales.

There is a new song, ‘September’, a duet with Italy’s Zucchero, best known in the UK for Senza una Donna, his 1991 duet with Paul Young.

The CD edition of Duets will be issued on 19 March 2021 (was 27 November/18 December 2020).
