In news absolutely no one was expecting, Sting and Shaggy have made an album together
IT’S THE YEAR 2000, the start of a new millennium, and everyone is listening to this, whether they like it or not.
It Wasn’t Me basically took over the pop charts at the end of the year, introducing many children to the concept of ‘banging on the bathroom floor’ as it did it. So thanks for that, Shaggy.
In no way would anyone have ever mentioned Mr Boombastic in the same breath as dad-rocker Sting. Until now.
The unlikely pair is after recording an ‘Caribbean-inflected’ album to be released on April 20 (AKA 4/20. Lads, are ye 14) – this is the first single, and it’s only a little bit horrific?
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Sting acknowledged that their friendship and collaboration would probably be a bit jarring to the outside world.
Shaggy, meanwhile, still has the same sensibilities he had in 2000.
