Last Ship (CD)

Cherrytree/Interscope/A&M Records is pleased to announce a new album of original material from Sting, entitled THE LAST SHIP. The album is inspired by Sting's forthcoming play of the same name and explores the central themes of homecoming and self-discovery, drawing upon his memories of growing up in the shadow of the Swan Hunters Shipyard in Wallsend. His personal reminiscences illuminate universal truths the complexity of relationships, the passage of time and the importance of family and community to form an affecting, complex parable for our modern times.

The Last Ship is the 11th album from Sting and his first to feature all-original material since 2003's Sacred Love. Born out of a musical that Sting had been penning -- based around the decline of the shipbuilding industry in the North of England in the 1980s -- the album includes songs that will feature in the show as well as other material to complement them., Rovi
