Query: redemption

I was all set to write Sting off. irst, "Mercury Falling" stunk. Sting's self-indulgence had finally become too much to bear. Then there was the "Roxanne" remix with Puffy...but to y surprise, "Brand New Day" is a return to form, featuring Sting at his eclectic best. "A Thousand Years" is a haunting love song, and is followed up by the now-ubiquitous "Desert Rose" (I'm sure you've seen the car commercial). The coolest thing about Sting (and this album) is that Sting is able to make such uncommercial music go down easy (listen to "Perfect Love...", I met you never thought you'd be groovin' to someone rapping in French, either). The album is a total success, except for "Ghost Story" which almost puts you to sleep,until the buoyant title track rouses you...all in all another solid, daring album by one of the finest musicians around.
