Sting - Little Wing 

Sting is really something. O.K., I'm harsh on him, I agree. After all, …Nothing Like The Sun proved there is a way for him to be himself and be listenable at the same time. The review at Allmusic did hit a point – he's even more pretentious here, but the group that surrounds him makes up for that. Additionally, he's also more relaxed on the record, showing us why he became the superstar we know. One of his most famous singles from the record presents that fact, since he deals with quite a serious subject matter for a pop song in the 80's, though the piece has one of the most buoyant choruses Sting did. Yes, the LP shows another paradox of Sting, i.e. he wishes to be taken seriously, yet he's an incredible pop craftsman at his heart.
