Sting is the latest artist to offer NPR a Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, playing a trio of songs from New York City, where he's currently working on a new album.
The Police frontman opened with a sit-in by Beninese pop star Shirazee, for an adapted version of "Englishman in New York" (which Shirazee offers as "African in New York").
"It's good to be in the same room as someone who's singing, I've been on my own for a year," Sting says afterwards. "That's the good thing about music, you can connect."
From there, Sting went solo for an acoustic version of his Ten Summoner's Tales track "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and a closing "Sister Moon," from his 1987 album ...Nothing Like the Sun.
