Taking its name from the telephone area codes for England & Jamaica, music stars Sting & Shaggy come together to create an album of feel-good reggae music inspiring light hearts and dreams of Carribean skies.

Revisiting the days when he wrote pop hits "Every Breath You Take" and "King of Pain" in Jamaica, pop legend Sting returns to the music scene with a bumping new album collaboration featuring reggae-Dancehall superstar Shaggy- as the two pair up the new, island-flavored recording,  44/876. Featuring feel-good Carribean rhythms where the pair sing of everyday life, love, and the state of the world with a hopeful view, the record pays homage to Shaggy's familial island origins and the place where Sting shares he's always had a musical affinity for and represents a strong part of his musical DNA.  The two debuted their first single, "Don't Make Me Wait" for the U.S. Market on Good Morning America several weeks ago, releasing the full album this week.  The mesh between the two singers and reggae genre are perfectly suited, lending to infectious grooves and dreams of sunny days that'll get you up from your seat and break out into an impromptu dance: our favorite track so far is the uplifting, "Morning Is Coming". Check that out along with the duo's debut single "Don't Make Me Wait" below: 

44/876 is available at all digital retail outlets including Amazon and iTunes.   Sting and Shaggy will meld their bands & tour Europe this summer together in support of the record, with tour dates being announced via sting.com and shaggyonline.com.
