Sting

In January 1993, during the live recording featured in "Sting - Live in Oslo 1993," the artist was promoting his album "Ten Summoner's Tales," which was released in March of that year. This album marked a notable phase in Sting's transition from The Police to a solo career, showcasing his prowess in blending pop with jazz and world music influences. "Ten Summoner's Tales" produced several hits, including "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You," performed during the concert, which became one of his signature songs. Interestingly, the album's title is a playful nod to "The Summoner's Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer, reflecting Sting's literary interests. The Oslo concert captures Sting at a pivotal moment, where he was solidifying his identity as a solo artist, stepping away from his earlier rock roots while still retaining his profound lyrical storytelling and musical versatility.
