Shaggy’s rhythm is impeccable. Sting’s voice and groove on that bass are butter. Dominic’s playing is perfectly in pocket and his dynamics are unbelievable. The backup singers are a beautiful base for everything else and contribute so much without overtaking anything. The mixing is perfect and the recording engineer is a genius. This is the perfect storm!
You missed a perfect set of songs to share the set in the way that makes this magic. But 💯 agree on the rest. EDIT: I have to also add that handing it over on a song like Shape of My Heart to a backup singer shows so much respect.
I love this but I think shaggy should have two mics. One for singing and one for toasting. Other than that it's a perfect combination. They compliment each other so well ✌️
Agreed , I'm hook on tiny desk performance's and these cats are amazing , an to think, I just until recently found out about these performances...... dam shame.
I think this comment is on every Tiny Desk but NPR’s sound mixer is a beast. One hell of a job mixing that bass, not too loud but not too quiet either. Blends in really good with the voices. Love your work whoever you are.
You do realize that wine does eventually turn into vinegar when it goes past a certain point of aging. Wine is considered rotten grape juice, and vinegar is rotten wine. and alcohol is a poison.

Sting beating out the crab of the audience . Shaggy clap Hands. shaggy :"yeah yeah, tell dem" Back inna dem mid of 2010 and 2020 full of dough and lucid dreams, i was a bit disappointed figuring out that shaggy should be labeled as a so called "playback artist". Nevertheless i'm gratefull for his music and this collaboration.
Englishman in New York done acoustically with stings just sheer brilliance and shaggy added, just incredible didn’t think the song could get any better
my main problem with the Tiny Desk Concerts is that I'll put one on as background music while working, but 20 seconds into the video I have to start watching these incredible artists doing what they do best. Then two hours go by where I watch six of these things in a row and I haven't done any work.
The collab i never knew i needed. This whole thing is perfect. Love sting and shaggy but these backup singers kind of made this performance. Whoevers responsible for this, you are a genius
Every time I watch this video… I thank for living in the same planet where people like these live, that know how to touch other’s heart with their own art. This is more than just simple playing and singing.
sting is one of my favorite vocalists out there. now we’re adding shaggy? i’m obsessed. and when shaggy calls him stingy. my heart. also that woman is fabulous, she really adds a lot to the vocals.
They are all so talented. A perfect combination. Am I the only one who wants to hear that woman do more solos though? Geez her voice is amazing. All of them are so great in their own ways
omg, its 4 years and i just watch it now.. where have i been ... sting and shaggy, you are make my day today...shout to Dominic Miller, Gene Noble and Melissa Musique, those 3 are also rock....
Shaggy is an example of someone who might not be the "greatest" technical singer in the world, but uses what he has to make a super cool style that millions of people love and connect with. More so than a "great" singer.
I really didn't expect this to be so good. All the group is balanced, nobody is trying too hard to shine they give each other space. Great chemistry between these guys. Really amazing. I love how tiny desk gets the best out of artists.
Sting is one of those artists that when he sings, you stop what you're doing and watch. Never been a Shaggy fan, but this was mesmerizing. Caught myself completely forgetting what I was doing before seeing this.
OMG!!! I don’t know what to say!!! I’m a white boy from Central Minnesota and that was unreal!! I love all of you!!! Thank you for that performance!!! I’ve listened you you all from the early 80’s I am amazed at the talent!!!
I like being shocked by seeing something I wouldn't expect to work. This was a great collaboration! It shows how beautiful this world could be if we work together rather than divided.
Stern Taurus Who pitted us against each other..? Who keeps us divided..? Solve those two riddles and perhaps we will have wiped out greed, envy, deception and inequality in this infested world of those who have more & keep the divide wide so that those who have little or nothing will forever be downtrodden. Still, no harm in trying. That I am for!
I get it but you really shouldn't been shocked becos Sting is musically vast. He's what you can call music alchemist and Shaggy, he just roll with the punches know what I mean -simply a genius. Great work guys. Wonderful.
2 minutes into this set I realized my cheeks hurt because I'd been smiling the whole time. This unlikely collaboration has so much joy and warmth it's amazing. Lovely. Thank you.
Wicked vibes. Was always a fan of Sting and the Police. Shaggy from his 90s hits. Brits and Jamaicans can surely appreciate this with Shaggy putting his spin on it. Big up ! 🇬🇧🇯🇲👍
Couple of things. First off, I've always loved Sting's entire catalog, so no surprises on the greatness here. Secondly, that guitar player was low key great. He played so cleanly, with such touch, and made it look easy. I will say the biggest surprise was my newfound respect for Shaggy. The rhythm of his phrasing was so good and crisp. I also realized the man has a nice timbre to his voice and can do some decent singing. This whole collaboration is such a breath of fresh air. Kudos.
The way Sting says "Suspe-C-T" and "Respe-C-T" in Shape of my Heart is beautiful. Like a closed hi-hat to punctuate the end of the phrase. So subtle, yet so deliberate every time I've heard him sing it.
I stopped by to see the odd combination. How could this work? After the first song, I realized I wanted more! And they delivered in every way. Brilliant, and yet simple. Everyone in that small group was a joy to hear! Fantastic!
@@markroberts171 that would depend on his monthly expenditures vs income, what we call the Debt/Income ratio. What if he has 5 ex-wives and over 10 children. He might be short on cash.
When they released an album last year I was as surprised by this collab as anyone. I mean, The Police sure loved reggae but Sting and Shaggy? But I didn't know I needed it. And I LOVED it. And I LOVE THIS!
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
I love the way he doesn't have any issues with Juiceworld sampling his song, in fact he incorporates lucid dreams back into a mashup of his own original?!?! Sting is a Legend
Nah. He's promoting. Sting is notorious for wanting large proportions of samples. When BIG died he took most of missing you even though the proceeds were meant to get to his kids.
Sting and the Police have been sampled many times. And he's performed on some of those sampled tracks in live concert. It only increases his legend as each new generation learns about the man that has been rocking the world for over 40 years.
Sting and Shaggy have great chemistry as artists. So cool! And the group--despite the morning--just seem to be having so much fun that I found myself watching this several times, absolutely charmed. This vid also brought to light for me the long-time collaboration Sting has had with Dominic Miller. Since 1991, Dominic has recorded and toured with Sting and thus helped create his sound as a solo artist. Doubly cool!

I'm almost sure it was marijuana that brought that gem to us.
Agreed , I'm hook on tiny desk performance's and these cats are amazing , an to think, I just until recently found out about these performances...... dam shame.
True dat!! Nuff said
I’m pretty sure Sting’s early stuff was ska and reggae.
it sounds like two friends singing in a bar, having fun, drinking beers talking about good old time... smooth and natural! thanks NPR!
Smooth and natural.... exactly..
No matter how famous or rich musicians become in their careers, in the end, they still just love to jam like all the rest of us…awesome
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔👍
Just Sting and shaggy cuz the other one next to Sting is like angry
Man, the backup vocalists are so incredible
so crazy
I agree 👌👌😁
Dude, that guy it's out of tune almost the whole show
@@MSantanaT1 Maybe you're right, I don't know about this stuff. I only know that his singing was very beautiful
For real, great back up singers make it 100000000x better, those harmonies are on point!
Shaggy holding down the bass harmony on shape of my heart was great. This was an amazing combo.
Dorothee ❤
Sting’s singing while just casually laying down the bass groove like the legend he is
FrozenThorn123 exactly! My thoughts exactly!
I never noticed how he plucks the bass. Almost like a guitar finger picking style.
Zawakers This is tasteful, Mark King is showy
Sting is a beast
Yo.. why is no one else loving these back up singers?! They add sooo much!
This is why I am here. Gene Noble is outstanding!
Yes! Anyone know their names? I'm a new fan.

He kinda stole the (already lovely) show.
@@globalgourmand Yes. but if he could do a little less at the very end of the song, it would have been perfect.
He sounded so great because he contrasts so well with the two legends. Such three different voices mix sooo well :D

I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

Joesdf Joesdfg do something, anything, with your pathetic existence. Learn to play a triangle or something before you hit the dirt.
Could you imagine an evening with this group enjoying just jamming to whatever comes to mind. That would be my happy place.
Thanks. I was just thinking, "Man, can you imagine sitting on the beach and this is the band onstage?"
So bad ass, Shaggy, Sting and Willem Defoe!
Willem Dafoe! lol
It isn't just me who thought that! 🤣🤣
Willem Dafoe!!! Hahahahaha
ROFLMAO - Dead.....
YOOO😂
I can't ever imagine Shaggy and Sting can sound so good together, that´s was incredible.
Sting is looking and sounding more beautiful as time goes by! So lovely.
I do agree...he just better all the way around as he ages!
The Shape of My Heart/Lucid Dream mashup brought tears to my eyes. Lovely.
I love the way he doesn't have any issues with Juiceworld sampling his song, in fact he incorporates lucid dreams back into a mashup of his own original?!?! Sting is a Legend
which came first
@@sebastian6070 troll
He makes 80% of all the money from lucid dreams
Nah. He's promoting. Sting is notorious for wanting large proportions of samples. When BIG died he took most of missing you even though the proceeds were meant to get to his kids.
Sting and the Police have been sampled many times. And he's performed on some of those sampled tracks in live concert. It only increases his legend as each new generation learns about the man that has been rocking the world for over 40 years.
Really doesn't get any better than this, the way these voices resonate, always been spellbound by my beautiful Maro!!
Why didn't I know I wanted this crossover?! Sting, Shaggy and NPR!
RIGHT?!?!?!
They’re touring. You been asleep?
@@spencert4840 NPR has been touring too? :P
44/876 is the title of the Sting & Shaggy album. Pretty good check it out.
Loving the sound
That incredible bass sound, that's the magic of Sting!
Sting and Shaggy have great chemistry as artists. So cool! And the group--despite the morning--just seem to be having so much fun that I found myself watching this several times, absolutely charmed. This vid also brought to light for me the long-time collaboration Sting has had with Dominic Miller. Since 1991, Dominic has recorded and toured with Sting and thus helped create his sound as a solo artist. Doubly cool!
