A companion album of sorts to 2019s My Songs, Duets collects 17 duets Sting has recorded over the years. Some of these tracks appeared on soundtracks, some were included on albums by his duet partners, others -- including September, a song recorded with Zucchero that makes its debut here -- trickled out on compilations. Collectively, these duets showcase Sting The Polymath, a cultured and worldly individual with an ability to synthesize his diverse interests into smooth, jazzy, mature pop. Whats striking about the compilation is how a roster as diverse as Eric Clapton, Shaggy, Mary J. Blige, Annie Lennox, Herbie Hancock, Sam Moore, and Julio Iglesias doesnt sound especially eclectic; when the common denominator is Sting, all the guests adapt to his particular ways. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
