The Dream Of The Blue Turtles by Sting

The brilliance of The Dream Of The Blue Turtles lies in how it bridges worlds. Sting wanted to blur the lines between rock and jazz, creating music that possessed the accessibility of pop with the sophistication and improvisational spirit of jazz. Rather than coast on guaranteed commercial success, he chose uncertainty, reinvention and artistic risk. That decision, and the album that emerged from it, would cement The Dream Of The Blue Turtles as one of the most significant debut solo records in rock history.Featured songs:If You Love Somebody Set Them FreeRussiansMoon Over Bourbon StreetChildren’s CrusadeWe Work The Black SeamLove Is The Seventh Wave
