"Oh, it's a joyful song," Sting shares of his latest project with Shaggy. "Everybody hears it starts to smile, you know. And boy, do we need some of that medicine in the world today, because so much unhappiness."
Together the pair unpacked some of the influences for "Til A Mawnin," a track deeply indebted to sound system culture and dancehall music. "It changed my life," Shaggy shared of the movement and the music that seeps into every inch of their new offering.
The GRAMMY winners also took time to thank Eddie Murphy for some of the ways he has been intertwined in their careers. For Shaggy, a bit from the comedian's Raw special that helped inspired his hit, "It Wasn't Me," and for Sting, a few nice checks for his rendition of "Roxanne."
"I thanked him, because every time he did that, I made some money, you know," smiled Sting. "Keep singing that brother, keep singing that line."
