All Saints And Sting Release New Single ‘Message In A Bottle’

All Saints & Sting have released a brand-new version of The Police classic ‘Message In A Bottle’. The single is the first release from All Saints since their critically acclaimed 2018 album ‘Testament’ and the first from Sting since 2019’s ‘My Songs’.

The track sees both artists collaborate with producer Future Cut (Rihanna, Shakira, MIA). Written by Sting for the 1979 Police album ‘Regatta de Blanc’ the track hit No.1 that year and has become one of the band’s most enduring hits, serving as the title for an original West End musical currently running in London’s West End, produced by Sadler’s Wells and choreographed by Kate Prince.

All Saints originally performed ‘Message In A Bottle’ with the BBC Concert Orchestra for Children In Need in 2018. They continued to perform the song during their run of summer festivals the following year and it quickly became a fan favourite.

All Saints have said:

“We were in the studio working on a new arrangement of the song for a radio session and we decided to record what we had come up with. We were delighted when Sting heard our original demo and offered to add his vocals to the track.”
