Englishman in New York

Pop New Wave
"Englishman in New York," released in 1987 by Sting, epitomizes the eclectic sound of the 1980s with its jazzy undertones and reggae-infused rhythms. Celebrated for its sophisticated lyrics and the iconic saxophone solo by Branford Marsalis, the song paints a vivid picture of cultural alienation and identity. It resonated globally, peaking at number 51 on the UK Singles Chart, and became an anthem for expatriates and outsiders alike.
