详细介绍:
When you have a musical career as long and as successful as Sting%27s, it becomes easy for the listener to hear each new album in the context of previous projects. In truth, The Bridge is a great testament to the English singer/songwriter%27s gift for bringing his diverse influences to bear in a rich and very personal record that rewards repeat listening. This new album is a reflection on a world in transition and the need for a metaphorical bridge to a better state of humanity, so the work is rife with images of water, peril, and crossings to safety and fulfillment.
The Bridge was created in Sting%27s home studio during the pandemic, with guest artists making significant contributions remotely, such as long-time collaborator Dominic Miller%27s beautiful, chiming guitar work on the haunting The Bells of St. Thomas, and drummer extraordinaire Manu Katché%27s jazz-funk backbeat on Captain Bateman%27s Basement. There are elements that might have you thinking of past highlights in Sting%27s oeuvre, such as Branford Marsalis%27 unmistakable sax on Harmony, or the beautiful acoustic guitar on For Her Love that the English musician utilizes so well in his heartfelt ballads. In songs like Rushing Water, his songcraft and arranging genius reflects the less-is-more approach that was prevalent in so many of his hits with The Police, while If It%27s Love has the warmth and breeziness of songs from his album Sacred Love.
More examples of Sting%27s creative diversity on The Bridge include The Hills on the Border, a folk-inspired tune that would not be out of place in his musical The Last Ship, and the Celtic violins on Captain Bateman. We all need to seek the higher ground at one time or another, and in The Bridge, one of this generation%27s best singer/songwriters has engineered a structure as solid, as thoughtful, and ultimately as compelling as any he has created before. © Rick Banales/Qobuz
