Few artists have used music to chronicle the vicissitudes of life like Sting has. From revisiting his childhood on the songs that made up The Last Ship, to directly addressing his grief over the loss of his father, on 1991’s The Soul Cages, Sting’s life story permeates his work with an emotional honesty rarely matched anywhere else in music. As such, it’s fitting that his latest album, My Songs, finds him revisiting his entire career with a collection of re-recordings that take his past and place it firmly in the present.

Musical odd couples don't come much stranger than Sting and Shaggy. Last night, at the Roundhouse, that didn't stop the rock star playing yin to the reggae man's yang. Their contrasting styles and personalities blended together in an evening that reached its climax in a barnstorming fusion of "Roxanne" and "Boombastic"..
