Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox song "Desert Rose" is a song by British musician Sting, featuring Algerian raï singer Cheb Mami, from Sting's sixth solo studio album, Brand New Day (1999). According to Sting, the lyrics have to do with "lost love and longing".[1] Riding a wave of pre-9/11 interest in Latin and Arabic cultures,[2][3][4] "Desert Rose" peaked at Шаблон:Abbr 2 in Canada, No. 3 in Switzerland, No. 4 in Italy, No. 15 in the United Kingdom, and No. 17 in the United States.

Reception

Brand New Day received moderate to positive reviews,[5][6][7] with one critic calling it "world-beat".[6] Sting took issue with the classification of Brand New Day as "world music", although he acknowledged the North African feel of "Desert Rose".[8] Reviewers noted that the "exotic"[9] song differed from the rest of the album,[5] and cited it as one of Brand New DayШаблон:'s highlights.[9]

Music video

The music video was directed by Paul Boyd,[10] and features Sting taking a trip through the Mojave Desert in a Jaguar S-Type driven by a masked female chauffeur while recording himself on a JVC GR-DVX4 video camera, and then going to a nightclub in Las Vegas to perform the song with Cheb Mami. Scenes also feature Sting walking alone in the desert holding the camera up. It ends with a shot of Sting with his eyes shut (possibly asleep) in the back seat of the Jaguar, which is then seen driving off into the distance. After shooting the video, Sting's manager Miles Copeland III approached a music licensing maven, Lloyd Simon,Шаблон:Citation needed to work with Jaguar on a collaboration, and the auto company featured the video in their prominent television advertisements during the year 2000.[11]

Remixes

Also included on the single releases were club remixes by Victor Calderone. One remixed version of the song was used in an alternative edit of the video, which included more sexually explicit footage.Шаблон:Citation needed The song was later re-released on Sting's later album Duets.[12]
