I was immediately gonna say Sting and then read your post.
I'mma big Sting fan, got all his records but I think the worst you can do is tell someone to listen to "Sacred love". That CD is boring!! Except for "Inside" and "Sacred love", and maybe that Mary J Blige duet, the rest is straight garbage.
Better get "Ten summoner tales" if you wanna get some easy listening CLASSIC pop tunes, "...Nothing like the sun" if you're into more variety, "The dream of the blue turtles" if you're in a jazzy mood, or even "Brand new day" if you're into newer pop. Don't forget "Mercury falling", great album; I would not recommend "The soul cages" since is hella dark and depressive... ultimately great, but very dark and slow.
But if you're not that much into Sting, just download "Fields of gold: The best of Sting" and you'll be screaming at his next concert.
PS.- And if after that you're not into Sting, listen to Prince. The other genius.
