Sting, or Gordon Sumner, The Police's bass player and singer started his solo career in 1984 after the break-up of the band. His first solo album was called "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" and published in 1985. The style and gerne of this album was entirely different from The Police's. Instead of simple rock with taste of punk and reggar, Sting's debut filled with jazz moods and beautiful melodies. Within a year of release, the album reached triple platinum and became a huge success. Afterward, Sting went on an extensive tour with his band and a live album "Bring on the Night" came to live.
In 1987 was released the second studio album called "...Nothing Like the Sun" and it was also a success and reached double platinum. The name of the album was taken from William Shakespeare's sonnet. The album included song "Englishman in New York" that was probably one of the best known songs of Sting on that stage of his career. In the beginning of 1988 was released album "...Nada Como el Sol" that is a portuguese translation of "...Nothing Like the Sun". Album includes portuguese versions of five songs that were taken from Sting's first two solo albums.
"..Nothing Like the Sun" was followed by "Soul Cages" that were released in 1991. The album's title track won a Grammy Award. It also includes song "All This Time" that became also very popular and got a lot of radio air. "Soul Cages" was considered as the most difficult and complex part of Sting discography. Maybe that's way it wasn't so popular as its predecessors.
Two years after the release of "Soul Cages" was released "Ten Summoner's Tales" that included hit singles "Fields of Gold" and "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You". In November that year, was released a hit collection "Fields of Gold" that gathered together the brightest moments of Stings' solo career so far.
Sting's fifth studio album "Mercury Falling" was published in 1996. Although it is a very strong album, it didn't stay very long on the charts. Two of it singles reached top 40. Sting's next album, that was released in 1999 and was called "Brand New Day", was more succesful than "Mercury Falling", reaching triple platinum. The album also won him two Grammy awards. In 11th of September 2001, world as we knew it, changed many ways. It was also a day, when Sting had a concert on his villa in Italy. It was ment to be called "On a such night", but due to the terrorist attacks in U.S. it was finally called "...All This Time". It was released as a live album and live DVD.
In 2003 was published "Sacred Love" album. The album featured guest appearances from soul singer Mary J. Blige and sitar player Anoushka Shankar. The duet with Mary J. Blige won a Grammy award. The album didn't include hit singles, but the album itself reached platinum in the beginning of 2004. Sting's autobiography was released in October that same year. It tells the story of Sting, from his birth to the days of The Police.
The latest Sting album so far, "Songs from the Labyrinth", was released in 2006, and it features music of John Dowland. All the songs are sung by Sting with Edin Karamazov playing lute. In Summer 2010, Symphonicities was released. The album was a compilation of Sting's and The Police's most famous song arranged for a symphony orchestra. Soon after the album's release, Sting started another world tour.
