It was year 1984. He started to record his first solo album and it was published in 1985 and was called "The Dream of the Blue Turtles". Compared to The Police albums, the style and genre of the musicwas entirely different. Where The Police had played simple rock with taste of punk and reggae, Sting's solo debutconsisted of jazz moods and beautiful melodies. The album became a huge success, and it reached triple platinum within a year of its release. After the release of the album, Sting headed to an extensive tour with his band, and the result of the tour was a live album called "Bring on the Night". In 1987 was realeased the second studio album called "...Nothing Like the Sun" and it was also a success andreached double platinum. The name of the album was taken from William Shakespeare's sonet. The album included song "Englishman in New York" that was probably one of the best known songs of Sting on that stage of his career. In the beginning of 1988 was released album "...Nada Como el Sol" that is a porguese translation of "...Nothing Like the Sun". Album includes portuguese versions of five songs that were taken from Sting's first two solo albums. "...Nothing Like the Sun" was followed by "Soul Cages" that were released in 1991. The album's title track won a Grammy Award. It also includes song "All This Time" that became also very popular and got a lot of radio air. "Soul Cages" was considered as the most difficult and complex part of Sting discography. Maybe that's wayit wasn't so popular as its predecessors. Two years after the release of "Soul Cages" was released "Ten Summoner's Tales" that included hit singles "Fields of Gold" and "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You".
