About this album
Sting’s solo debut is an assured reinvention that fused pop songcraft with jazz colours and a more politically alert lyrical voice. The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, released in 1985, arrived after his work with The Police and quickly established him as a solo artist with a distinct identity rather than a sidestep from his former band. Powered by hit singles including If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Russians and Fortress Around Your Heart, the album balances immediate hooks with sharper social themes and supple musicianship, helping define the polished, intelligent mainstream pop of the mid-1980s.
