Free Music Review: Sting - SACRED LOVE (2003)
Hit: 3 Stars
Following his surprise "comeback" on 1999's BRAND NEW DAY, Sting disappeared for four years before releasing SACRED LOVE. Picking up on the success of guest musicians from the previous album (Farhat Bougallagui, Ste), Sting brought in Mary J. Blidge ("Whenever I Say Your Name"), Vincente Amigo ("Send Your Love"), and Anoushaka Shankar ("The Book Of My Life"), while venturing further into techno. The big problem with SACRED LOVE is that Sting seems to be focusing more on the sound of the music than the actual quality of the songs. This makes for an album that's a nice, moody listen, but lacks the punch of Sting's previous recordings. Though there's a wealth of enjoyable songs, only a few (the angry poke at George W. Bush on "This War", the sing-along tune "Like A Beautiful Smile") may be considered among Sting's best. In the end, though it's far from a bad album, SACRED LOVE is purely for Sting devotees.
Sacred Love Poster
Sting explores his shiny, happy side on Sacred Love, adding playful touches of techno to his smooth, vaguely multi-cultural pop sound. Like 1999's Brand New Day, Love sounds effortless and content, with expert musicians backing up Sting's gauzy revelations about love and life. The former Police frontman shakes things up here and there; DJ/producers like BT and Victor Calderone breathe life into tracks like "Never Coming Home" and "Send Your Love," while Mary J. Blige puts her smoky vocals to work on "Whenever I Say Your Name." "This War" takes a not-so-subtle shot at George W. Bush, as Sting gives his left-leaning fan base a thrill with lyrics like "Your daddy was a businessman/ and it always made good sense/ You know the war can make you rich my friend/ In dollars, pounds, and cents." Of course, Sting long ago cashed in his rebel cachet for adult contemporary oblivion. But even though this music is designed for broad appeal, it does so with the natural, unforced ease of a seasoned showman. --Matthew CookePop Music CDs
