NEVER LOSE FAITH IN STING.
Following the release of the now sold out The Studio Collection box set via A&M / Interscope Records, The Complete Studio Collection includes all of the A&M / Interscope Records catalogue plus his Deutsche Grammophon discography – Songs From The Labyrinth (2006), If On A Winter's Night... (2009) and Symphonicities (2010) – in addition to his new album 57th & 9th; bringing together all 12 solo studio albums for the very first time.
For fans who purchased the original The Studio Collection box set, a separate bundle has been specially created entitled The Studio Collection: Volume II that contains the 4 newly added albums – Songs From The Labyrinth, If On A Winter's Night..., Symphonicities and 57th & 9th – with space within the set for all of the remaining albums to create The Complete Studio Collection.
All of the included catalogue LPs are presented in meticulous reproductions of their original artwork with new vinyl masters cut at the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios to ensure the highest possible audio quality throughout.
The Complete Studio Collection highlights the incredible full range of Sting's seminal songwriting, inimitable storytelling, and awe-inspiring arrangements through a myriad of musical styles. From the jazz-infused politically-charged The Dream Of The Blue Turtles to the deft pop songcraft of …Nothing Like The Sun, the globetrotting Brand New Day to the evocative electronica of Sacred Love, through to the exploration of complex classical forms in Songs From The Labyrinth, expanding in magnitude and concept on If On A Winter's Night…, and further developing into the genre-melding orchestral expanse Symphonicities, before finally culminating in the triumphant return to pop/rock on 57th & 9th; The Complete Studio Collection showcases all facets of the ever-evolving and truly inspirational artistry of Sting.
The Complete Studio Collection and The Studio Collection: Volume II are out on June 9th and available to pre-order now.

ABOUT STING: Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to London in 1977 to form The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band released five studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
As one of the world's most distinctive solo artists, Sting has received an additional 10 Grammy Awards, two Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations (most recently for "The Empty Chair" from JIM: The James Foley Story), a TONY nomination, Billboard Magazine's Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year. Also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, in December 2014 he received the Kennedy Center Honors, and most recently was given The American Music Award of Merit. Throughout his enduring career, he has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist.
Sting's support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect both the world's rainforests and the indigenous people living there. Together they have held 18 benefit concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet's endangered resources. Since its inception, the Rainforest Fund has expanded to a network of interconnected organizations working in more than 20 countries over three continents.

Director Babak Najafi most recently helmed the internationally successful action thriller London Has Fallen.

HARRIET TUBMAN WILL BE-THE SOLE FEATURED CHARACTER, ON UNDERGROUND FOR A WEEK.
WGN America announced today that the sixth installment of its gripping, hit series, "Underground," slated to air at a special time on Wednesday, April 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, will in its entirety feature a solo performance by Aisha Hinds ("Under the Dome," Star Trek Into Darkness), whose electrifying portrayal of Harriet Tubman has already captivated viewers and critics around the country. Tubman, the Underground Railroad's most famous conductor, risks her life repeatedly in order to free her family members and lead anyone willing to journey north across hostile territory, to freedom – a task she believes is her God-given mission.
"When introducing someone as iconic as Harriet Tubman, we felt compelled to attempt an episode as revolutionary as her spirit. When we learned through research in 1858 she began to give talks about her life to like-minded abolitionists to raise money for the cause, we knew we had our in: A 'Ted Talk' with Harriet Tubman," said "Underground" Creators, Writers and Executive Producers Misha Green and Joe Pokaski. "Our amazing crew, led by our director/executive producer Anthony Hemingway, set a beautiful stage for Aisha Hinds'powerhouse performance. And we can only hope we did Araminta 'Minty' Ross proud."
"This episode is truly one of a kind. It alone, masterfully revolutionizes TV storytelling," said Anthony Hemingway, "Underground" Director and Executive Producer. "Aisha surrenders herself to the spirit of Harriet Tubman and gracefully reintroduces us to Harriet's humanity by sharing her story, in a chillingly exceptional performance. I am extremely proud of the amazing artistry that every cast and crew member poured into making 'Underground,' it's the most exhilarating experience I've had as a filmmaker."
Hinds remarked, "Playing Harriet Tubman is both a great honor and also a tremendous call to duty as we examine how familiar the pain of our past can be felt in the present. In sight of and in spite of the overwhelming obstacles stacked against her, Harriet transcended bondage and inspired generations in the pursuit of liberty."
In the all-new, extended episode entitled, "Minty," written by series co-creators Misha Green and Joe Pokaski, and directed by Emmy and Golden Globe Award® winner Anthony Hemingway, Tubman delivers a monumental and definitive speech about her life, her divine purpose and the perilous but necessary fight for freedom. Set in 1858 against the backdrop of a nation deeply divided by race, class and gender, Tubman makes a passionate plea to abolitionists to shift their thinking as she challenges them to take swift action against those who are determined to oppress others. In a career defining move, Hinds unleashes a transcendent performance that is not to be missed. "Minty" will air on Wednesday, April 12 during a special time slot at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on WGN America, with back-to-back encore airings throughout the night.

The film stars newcomer Richie Merritt as Ricky Wershe Jr., and Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club," "The Dark Tower") as Ricky's father, Richard Wershe Sr.
15-year-old Richie Merritt was discovered in Baltimore during an extensive nationwide talent search.

The film also features Oscar® nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh ("Hateful Eight") and Rory Cochrane ("Black Mass") as the FBI agents who begin working with Rick as a confidential informant, and Brian Tyree Henry (FX's "Atlanta") as narcotics detective Officer Jackson; two-time Oscar® nominee Bruce Dern ("Nebraska," "The Hateful Eight") as Rick's grandfather, Ray Wershe; three-time Oscar® nominee Piper Laurie ("Carrie," "Children of a Lesser God") as Rick's grandmother, Verna Wershe; BAFTA nominee Bel Powley ("Diary of a Teenage Girl") as Rick's sister, Dawn; Jonathan Majors ("Hostiles") as Johnny Curry; Rapper YG ("Blame It on the Streets") as Leo Curry; RJ Cyler ("Me and Earl and the Dying Girl") as Rudell Curry; Taylour Paige (VH1's "Hit the Floor") as Cathy Volsan; and Kyanna Simone Simpson ("Fist Fight") as Brenda.
"White Boy Rick" is directed by Yann Demange ("'71"), from an original screenplay by Logan & Noah Miller with revisions by writers Andy Weiss, Scott Silver, and Steve Kloves. The film is being produced by John Lesher ("Birdman," "Black Mass"), Julie Yorn ("Hell or High Water," "The Other Woman"), Darren Aronofsky ("Jackie," "Noah") and Scott Franklin ("Jackie," "Black Swan"). Executive producers are Georgia Kacandes, Ari Handel, Matthew Krul, Christopher Mallick, Michael J. Weiss, Logan Miller and Noah Miller.
Born in Paris and raised in London, Demange made his directorial film debut in 2014 with the critically acclaimed drama "'71" starring Jack O'Connell, which followed a young British soldier who is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the streets of Belfast in 1971. The film was nominated for a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut and earned Demange the British Independent Film Award for Best Director.
The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Tat Radcliffe ("'71," "Pride"), production designer Stefania Cella ("Black Mass," "Downsizing"), costume designer Amy Westcott ("Nightcrawler," "Black Swan"), and editor Chris Wyatt ("'71," "This is England").
