Sting announced his new album, My Songs, which includes “re-imagined” versions of Police songs as well as solo work.

The album has a release date for May 24 in standard and deluxe versions. The entire track listing has been announced.

Sting said the idea for this album came after he was reworking his song, “Brand New Day.” He told Billboard, “I’m constantly tinkering and I’m always wanting to make the songs as contemporary as they can possible be, because I think they are good songs. Sometimes songs are identified by the technology they were recorded with – recording techniques, the sound of synthesizers or the drum sound. They all date a song, so we just want to re-contemporize the stuff.”
