Impressive latest album from former Police frontman Sting on which he displays his versatility
Review
Sting has said that his big mission on his latest album, 'The Bridge' is to display his versatility. He is certainly highly accomplished and plays some fine jazz, sings folk plus even includes an electronic ballad. Yet he is still at his best performing his own brand of breezy pop.
Sting's voice rings out brightly on the Police-like 'Rushing Water' and he deftly compares his romantic feelings to an ailment in need of urgent medical attention on 'If It's Love'. Delightfully, 'For Her Love' evokes 1993's 'Shape Of My Heart'.
But, undoubtedly, for many Sting fans, the highlight of the new album will be kitchen sink drama 'Loving You'. With powerful beats supplied by techno DJ Maya Coles, this track casts Sting as a jealous husband intent on revenge - and it revisits the sinister undercurrents of 1983's classic mega-hit 'Every Breath You Take'.
