Collaborating with arranger and producer Robert Sadin, Sting created an album that
served as a tribute to the winter season, which is the artist’s favorite time of the year.
Playing alongside a lineup of guest musicians, Sting offers his own take on classic British
lullabies, carols, and songs. Such songs include “Soul Cake,” which is traditionally played
by English beggars, and “Soonest,” which finds its roots in the English city of Newcastle.
Additionally, the album features “The Hounds of Winter” and “Lullaby for an Anxious
Child,” a duo of original compositions that Sting wrote.
