Termék leírás:

A The Police egykori énekese, aki több tucat Grammy-díjjal és több millió példányban eladott lemezekkel büszkélkedhet 2013. szeptember 23-án új lemezt adott ki.

Sting albumán - ami a The Last Ship címet kapta - a 80-as évekbeli, newcastle-i hajóépítési iparág hanyatlását meséli el, ami hosszú ideig formálta és meghatározta a várost, fejlődését és a közösségét.

Sting megihletve a témától 40 dalt írt a projekthez. Az új lemez dalai olyan egyetemes témákat tárnak fel, mint a kapcsolatok összetettsége, az idő múlása, vétkek, és megváltás.
