The song title itself is reminiscent of a Michael Jackson classic, but the lyrics are pure modern Los Angeles. Yes, “Another Part of Me,” the new (and awesome) collaboration between Snoop Dogg and Sting, breaks new musical ground of its own — and even gives Snoop the rare chance to perform his original Sing Agree.

“Another Part of Me” is based on a Sting-approved loop of The Police’s “Message in a Bottle,” bringing two of the biggest names together The voice for an unlikely team whose lyrical blend of old and new made for must-see television as the competition’s 26th season shifted into live performance mode for this week’s finale.

And no, this song is not a Michael Jackson cover. Although there is no obvious substantive connection between the two songs, music fans might also recognize “Another Part of Me” as the title of the first side two track from Michael Jackson’s 1987 album Bad.

Freshly released as one of the featured singles from Snoop’s upcoming new album missionary (released December 13th), “Another Part of Me” is like a one-stop song spot to find two standout trainers from Season 26 of The voice everything in one place. Sting worked with Snoop Dogg as his team’s mega-mentor, while Snoop himself is, of course, one of two rookie coaches (alongside Michael Bublé) sitting in the competition’s big red chair for the first time.

The lyrics to “Another Part of Me” by Snoop Dogg and Sting explained

Divided into two precisely produced verses, delivered first by Snoop Dogg and then Sting, “Another Part of Me” is about keeping the hustle alive even when you’re at your best.

“This is for my people, I just handle the procedure,” says Snoop while making clever references to two 1980s Tom Cruise films (Top Gun And Risky business), as he proclaims his old-fashioned West Coast proving ground: “Here in the land of the lost and the scandalous / Bright lights, sunny days, cold nights / Ride the wave, hold on tight, just a day in Los Angeles.” ”

Sting picks up the thread in the second verse, fueling the motivation to keep an eye on your work ethic, no matter how high you’ve climbed. “Yes, there’s no better time than today / In a moment jump on it, see the sea, keep moving / You’re not broken, no, I’m chosen, I just have to have faith / The time is present, I stay active, mom laughs when we rap” – and that last line could well be a knowing wink from Sting to his own unexpected flirtation with the hip-hop genre so far into his legendary career.

Dr. Dre’s lyrical contribution rounds out the track, serving up intro and outro words (like “Return of the Titans”) that celebrate the all-star crossover collaboration. Overall, “Another Part of Me” offers an entertaining and fresh collision between three masters of musical styles – while showing that each of them still has plenty of creative fuel left in the tank.
