Sting

In the energetic live recording of "Every Breath You Take" at VH1 in 2000, Sting was riding high on the success of his 1999 album, "Brand New Day." This album marked a significant moment in his career, showcasing a blend of jazz, pop, and world music influences, and it even earned him a Grammy Award. Notably, this performance featured an impressive lineup of guest artists, including D'Angelo and Christina Aguilera, reflecting Sting's ability to connect with diverse musical styles and audiences. It’s fascinating to think about how this era saw Sting evolve from being a frontman in The Police to carving out a distinct solo identity, with a sound all his own that continues to resonate long after its release.
