Brand New Day

Sting released Brand New Day in September 1999. It was an album that gave a boost to his career, especially after the success of the song "Desert Rose", which featured the voice of Cheb Mami, a Raï singer from Algeria. The album was recorded in different studios across Europe, and Sting decided to produce it together with Kipper, something he had not done before.

About the album

Brand New Day, according to DoReSol

The sound of the album blends pop rock with world music influences, something that was evident in songs like "A Thousand Years" or "Big Lie Small World". The full version of "The End of the Game" appeared on the single and on some special editions. There was also a music video for "Brand New Day", which was inspired by soap advertisements, and in which a product called "Day Ultra" was mentioned.

The album received a Grammy for best pop vocal album and for best male pop vocal performance. It was well received by the public, and sold over three million copies in the United States. In 2024, an expanded edition was released to celebrate its 25th anniversary, featuring remixed and live versions.
