Snoop’s new Dre-produced single, “Another Part of Me,” features vocals from Sting and a beat that draws from the Police classic.
“Another Part of Me” paired Snoop Dogg and Sting for a live-performance of Season 26 of “The Voice” show Finale. Snoop’s new single from his upcoming Dr. Dre-produced album Missionary takes major inspiration from the Police‘s 1979 single “Message in A Bottle,” using part of the melody and Sting‘s replayed version of the guitar line — as well as fresh vocals from the former Police frontman. Snoop’s confident singing is just as prominent as his rapping on the track (produced by Dre and the ICU), and Sting fits seamlessly alongside him, adopting some of Snoop’s flow into his own part. At one point, the two vocalists even nail a harmony together.
Missionary will drop Dec. 13, a date that also marks the 30th anniversary of Snoop Dogg’s Dre-produced debut, Doggystyle.
