Solo album
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In popular music, a solo album is an album made by a current or former member of a band. Despite the implication of the name, the solo album is not recorded without other collaborators; rather, it is made with different collaborators than the artist is usually associated.
An example is rock musician Sting, who came to prominence as a member of The Police. For his first solo album, 1985's Dream of the Blue Turtles, Sting recruited an entirely different backing group with which to perform.
