My Songs is a remixed and re-recorded album by British singer-songwriter Sting. This is his second studio album featuring new renditions of previously released material, the first one being 2010's Symphonicities. The album was released on 24 May 2019.[2][3]

Background

The album features fifteen reworked versions of a selection of Sting's most widely recognised songs from across his career both as a member of The Police and as a solo artist. Via his social media outlets, Sting described the new versions of the songs as being reconstructed, refitted and reframed, and all of them with a contemporary focus.[4] Some songs on the album have been remixed using elements of the original tracks, whilst others are complete re-recordings.[5]

A remixed version of "Brand New Day" produced for My Songs was released on 31 December 2018.[6] This version was first performed live in Times Square on the same day. A remixed version of "Desert Rose" and a newly recorded version of "Demolition Man" were made available to download on 28 March 2019.[7]

The My Songs tour commenced on 28 May 2019 in Paris.[8]
