The Last Ship (Expanded)

Sting

Expanded edition

Sting presents a new, expanded edition of his 2013 solo album.

 

"The Last Ship (Expanded Edition)" includes five brand-new, never-before-heard recordings, bringing the album to a 24-track version. "The Last Ship" is a powerful, conceptual album with deeply personal core themes of community, home and resilience. The album’s songs were written for — and inspired by — a musical of the same name, and are centred on a shipbuilding town in Sting’s native Wallsend in northeast England, where the town must navigate a new reality after the loss of the industry that was the heart of their community.

 

The new songs on "The Last Ship (Expanded Edition)" are:

 

- Island of Souls (2025)

- Shipyard (featuring Joe Caffrey, Brian Johnson, and Jo Lawry)

- Ship of State (featuring Renée Fleming)

- If You Ever See Me Talking to a Sailor (featuring Frances McNamee)

- O’Brien’s Hymn
