Reggatta de Blanc

The second album from The Police, Reggatta de Blanc loosely translates to “white reggae,” even though there is no French word for “reggae.” Released in 1979, the album is filled with a set of songs that were mostly written in the studio. The previous album, Outlandos d'Amour, exhausted the songs that were written before the formation of The Police, so they now were forced to write songs as a group. The result is a consistent, focused, and rocking album that is still considered one of the band’s finest moments.
