Sting and Shaggy in the video for "Don't Make Me Wait" in 2019.A pair of global music legends are at it again.
Jamaica’s Shaggy is partnering with Sting on another album, following their work together on the Grammy-winning 44/876 back in 2019.
The new Sting-produced album, which debuts May 25, sees Shaggy singing the Frank Sinatra songbook in a reggae style.
It’s called Come Fly Wid Mi, and it’s the product of what Sting calls a “crazy idea” he had while touring with the Jamaican legend several years back.
The album includes That’s Life, followed by Come Fly With Me, That Old Black Magic; Luck Be a Lady; Witchcraft; and Under My Skin and Angel Eyes. .
“I’ve always been a Sinatra fan,” says Shaggy. “As a child, Frank’s music was often playing in our house and on Sundays, all of the Jamaican radio stations would play the greats – Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, et cetera.” He continues, “It’s great to be working with Sting again. He’s the brother I never knew I needed!”
The pair will be holding a special one-night-only concert on May 26 at the Blue Note in New York City.
