The Soul Cages by Sting
The Soul Cages is an album by Sting, released in 1991. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 27 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “All This Time”, on 12 lists with a best position of #11.
The Soul Cages, Sting's third full-length solo album, came out on A&M in January 1991 with Hugh Padgham producing, and it's a brooding, slow-rolling record, all soft-focus pop-rock and misty atmosphere. It was even mixed in QSound, a system that throws 3D effects out of an ordinary stereo.
"All This Time", "Mad About You", the title track and "Why Should I Cry for You" were the four singles, and the title song won the very first Grammy for Best Rock Song. The album went to number one in the UK, his second solo record to get there, and it got a 30th-anniversary expanded edition in 2021, padded out with remixes and versions sung in Spanish and Italian.
