ABOUT THE ALBUM: What is there to say about the incomparable Sting? He’s a 16-time Grammy winner, and has had a decades-spanning career. His new album is his first in 10 years and is inspired by Sting’s forthcoming play of the same name. The album’s central themes are of homecoming and self-discovery and they were heavly influenced by Sting’s memories of growing up in the shadow of the Swan Hunters Shipyard in Wallsend. The play, in which Sting has hard at work on for nearly three years, debuts on Broadway in 2014 and is a collaboration with Tony Award winners Joe Mantello, John Logan and Brian Yorkey. The album comes out 9/24/13.
SINGLE SPOTLIGHT: “Practical Arrangement” definitely reflects the theatricality of a Broadway play. Sting’s signature vocals will delight old fans but this is definitely a different side of Sting.
