SUMMONER'S TALES...
"It's a very unlikely pairing: Sting and Shaggy. A lot of people were intrigued by it. Except that when they saw it, it was apparent that we both had a great deal of love and respect for each other and each other's music. Shaggy has such a spontaneous, natural storyteller's ability. I'm less spontaneous: I'm kind of a little bit tight with my creative process. So it was good to be exposed to somebody who could create on a dime... And I think I had a good effect on him, too."
