Music review: Sting – 无毛视频�57th & 9th无毛视频�
无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l take you someplace that you无毛视频檝e never been before,无毛视频� promises Sting on his latest effort. With 无毛视频�57th & 9th,无毛视频� the gifted singer-song writer delivers one of the best performances of his stellar solo career.
The album无毛视频檚 title refers to the New York intersection Sting crossed each day on his way to the studio to record his first collection of pop songs since 2003无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪acred Love.无毛视频� Sting sounds youthful and inspired on the 10 new tracks that range from fiery and intense to intimate and poignant.
无毛视频淚 Can无毛视频檛 Stop Thinking About You无毛视频� opens the set with a refreshing hint of vintage Police previously found on the British trio无毛视频檚 无毛视频淕host in the Machine无毛视频� from 1981 and 无毛视频淪ynchronicity无毛视频� from 1983.
无毛视频淚nshallah无毛视频� is a haunting track about the current refugee crisis and the plea for empathy and acceptance and the need to understand the root of its cause.
无毛视频淧etrol Head无毛视频� rocks hard with some great guitar licks fueled by Sting无毛视频檚 driving vocals as he sings, 无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l drive this car/I无毛视频檒l be your guide/Just fasten your seat belt/Let无毛视频檚 go for a ride.无毛视频�
On the reflective track 无毛视频�50,000,无毛视频� the 65-year-old music icon tries to come to terms with his own mortality by writing about the recent losses of so many fellow musicians such as David Bowie, Prince, Glenn Frey and Lemmy Kilmister. 无毛视频淩ock stars don无毛视频檛 ever die/They only fade away,无毛视频� sings Sting as he describes the lifestyle of a rock star and the impact of performing in the bright spotlight year after year.
Sting examines a number of diverse topics on the new material such as climate change with 无毛视频淥ne Fine Day,无毛视频� leaving home for the promise of a better life on 无毛视频淗eading South on the Great North Road无毛视频� and a crumbling relationship with 无毛视频淚f You Can无毛视频檛 Love Me.无毛视频�
Deep down inside, I was secretly hoping Sting would stay the course with the opening track无毛视频檚 infectious formula instead of crafting a number of ballads with mellower tones. Still, Sting delivers on what he promises by taking us to places we haven无毛视频檛 been to in quite a while.
