Der eine und der andere
Der eine heißt mit bürgerlichem Namen Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, der andere Orville Richard Burrell. Der eine nannte sich einst »English Man In New York«, der andere ein paar Jahre später »Mr. Boombastic«. Heute gehören zu den bekanntesten Gesichtern der Musikwelt.
Klar, die Rede ist von Sting und Shaggy. 2018 haben sie zum ersten Mal gemeinsame Sache gemacht: Hier ist ihr Kollaborationsalbum »44/876«

Perfekte Kombination
Sie sind Freunde, Kollegen und beide Ikonen der Musikwelt: Sting und Shaggy. 2018 präsentieren der britische Rock- und Popsänger und der jamaikanische Reggae-Künstler ihr erstes gemeinsames Album »44/876«.
Zwölf Songs haben sie dafür aufgenommen. Wie schon bei Stings letzter Platte »57th & 9th« fanden die Aufnahmen in New York City statt.
Herausgekommen ist ein deutlich von Reggae und karibischer Musik beeinflusstes Album, das von Liebe, Hoffnung und Freiheit handelt und immer wieder gute Laune und Sunshine-Vibes versprüht. Wie genau das klingt, verrieten Shaggy und Sting bereits im Februar mit der ersten Singleauskopplung »Don’t Make Me Wait«.
Neben den beiden Hauptverantwortlichen wirkten auch einige hochkarätige Gäste an »44/876« mit, darunter Robbie Shakespeare von Sly & Robbie, Dancehall-Star Aidonia, Branford Marsalis, Morgan Heritage, DJ Agent Sasco und Stings langjähriger musikalischer Partner, der Gitarrist Dominic Miller.
Neben der Standard-CD und der LP-Version gibt es »44/876« zudem als limitierte LP auf rotem Vinyl, als Limited-Deluxe-CD mit vier Bonustiteln sowie als Limited-Super-Deluxe-Box mit dem Album und einer Bonus-CD mit dem Mitschnitt des »Live at Shaggy & Friends«-Konzertes in Kingston, Jamaika und einem Cherrytree-Radio-Interview.
Obwohl diese Kombination einfach perfekt passt, haben wohl nur die Wenigsten damit gerechnet: »44/876«, das gemeinsame Debüt von Sting und Shaggy.
Rezensionen
»Ein ideenreiches Album.« (Stereo, Mai 2018)
»Gehen ein Weltbürger und ein Dancehall-Showman ins Studio … dann entsteht erstaunlich entspannter Reggae-Spaß.« (Rolling Stone)

Rezension:
Das Alterswerk des Gordon Sumner könnte doch noch ganz interessant werden: Nach seinem ersten echten Rock-Album in Jahrzehnten ging Sting nun zwei (Ausfall-)Schritte weiter und machte eine echte Spaß-Platte! Mit ausgerechnet Shaggy, der alten Party-Sau aus den 90ern ("Boombastic"), als Partner. Das nach den Ländervorwahlen von Großbritannien und Jamaika benannte Album steht natürlich im Zeichen des Reggae, Shaggys musikalischer Heimat und Stings langjähriger Liebe, was man ja schon zu The Police-Zeiten wußte. Und daß Sting einen sehr überzeugenden Reggae-Bass spielen kann, ist auch bekannt – schön, daß es ihm selbst auch mal wieder eingefallen ist…! (2018)

Description
Sting wove Jamaican rhythms into his early work with The Police as well as his solo repertoire while Shaggy, born and raised in Kingston, cut his musical teeth in the dance hall clubs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The pair were initially introduced by Martin Kierszenbaum, Sting's manager and Shaggy's former A&R executive. After Sting heard a new track that Shaggy was working on, they decided to go into the studio together.
Initially, the plan was to only record "Don't Make Me Wait," but the rhythms, lyrics and melodies flowed readily between the two accomplished musicians and more new songs emerged. Their collaborative, island-inspired album 44/876 blends Caribbean rhythms – in traditional and modern styles – with pop craftsmanship and rock energy. The vibrant 12-track collection is introduced by "Morning Is Coming" – a brassy reggae track fueled by sultry horns – as well as the current, Caribbean-flavored single "Don't Make Me Wait."
44/876 was recorded in Jamaica and New York with Sting and Shaggy being joined by various musicians and writers including the legendary Robbie Shakespeare of Sly and Robbie, dancehall sensation Aidonia, Morgan Heritage, Branford Marsalis, Agent Sasco and Sting's longtime guitarist, Dominic Miller as well as writers Taranchyla, Dwayne "iLL Wayno" Shippy, Shane Hoosong, Machine Gun Funk and Patexx. The sessions were produced in part by Sting International and by Martin Kierszenbaum (Sting, Madonna and Lady Gaga) and mixed by Sting International, Robert "Hitmixer" Orton and Tony Lake.
