Billboard.com has shared the exclusive premiere of Ivy Levan's "Killing You", featuring Tony-nominated 'LAST SHIP' composer Sting. The track will be featured on Levan's debut album 'No Good,' dropping August 7th. Get a first listen below!

Sting was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics) Written for the Theatre for THE LAST SHIP. He also played the role of Jackie White in the show.

Composer, singer, author, actor, and activist, Sting is one of the world's most renowned and distinctive artists. Throughout his enduring career, he has earned 16 Grammy Awards®, a Golden Globe®, an Emmy®, three Oscar® nominations, and has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist.

He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, has appeared in more than 15 films and authored two books, including the New York Times best-selling memoir, Broken Music. His fourteenth solo album, entitled The Last Ship, is inspired by the story of his forthcoming play of the same name and draws upon his memories of the shipbuilding community of Wallsend in the North East of England where he was born and raised. In February 2014, PBS' "Great Performances" premiered "Sting: The Last Ship," featuring Sting performing songs from both his album and Broadway-bound musical captured live at The Public Theater in New York City.
