Product Description
Description
SACRED LOVE seems like the culmination of a process that began 10 years earlier with Sting's TEN SUMMONER'S TALES album. While his first three solo albums were dense, cerebral affairs, that one began a move towards simplification and broader commercial appeal. While SACRED LOVE's predecessor was perhaps Sting's slickest, most pop-oriented album, this one seems to strike an easy balance between his weighty lyrical concerns and a broad-based, accessible sound.
As on his 1999 hit "Desert Rose", Sting uses world rhythms to spice things up here, employing sitar and Middle Eastern percussion on "The Book of My Life". An undercurrent of the R&B feel of BRAND NEW DAY can still be felt here as well, lending ballast to even his airiest harmonic moments. He even reprises the single "Send Your Love" (initially given worldbeat feel) as apercolating electronic dance track at the album's end, and it's perhaps a tribute to his musical facility that it sounds equally effective.
