(Watch) That’s Life: Sting Has Produced Shaggy’s Sparkling Album of Classic Songs Gone Reggae

Share

I’m bouncing around this morning listening to Shaggy cover the Frank Sinatra- Tony Bennett crooner classic, “That’s Life.”

The track and the album it’s from, called “Com Fly Wid Mi,” are produced by none other than Sting. The single is out now, watch the video. The album hits on May 25th with Shaggy appearing on a lot of talk shows. The next night, May 26th, there’s a special live performance with Sting and Shaggy at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village.

PS Sting’s tour has arrived in the US. He’s playing Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut on Sunday, May 15th. Then comes his residency in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, “Mrs. Sting,” the one and only Trudie Styler has been in Ukraine meeting refugees and raising money. Plus Sting and Trudie’s daughter, Elliot Sumner, has a new single (see below) called “Angel” from the movie, “Infinite Storm,” which Styler produced.

PS Sting’s son, Joe Sumner, just played the Rockwood Music Hall in downtown New York apart from his dad’s tour (May 16th– Rockboy Philly club in Philadelphia). Daughter Mickey is starring in “Snowpiercer” on TBS, daughter Kate is acting in Los Angeles. What a family!
