How did the unusual collaboration in Jamaica come about? Sting was a guest on the Caribbean island last year and jammed together with the native Jamaican Shaggy in the studio. The idea was to create songs that would reflect the love for Jamaica, the people and their culture. And of course, the fun should not come too short during the sessions. The single "Don't Make Me Wait" shines with lightness, positive vibes and Caribbean influences. Produced were "Don't Make Me Wait" as well as the entire sessions of the two legends of Shaggy's longtime producer Sting International (Shaun Pizzonia)who, among other things, played on the megahits "It Wasn't Me," "Angel," "Boombastic" and "Oh Carolina" stood behind the controllers. The video clip for "Don't Make Me Wait" has just been shot and will premiere shortly. Two icons in Jamaica and in a playing mood - there's no better way to start the music year 2018!
