With customary thoughtfulness and his usual verve, Sting is talking
about Brand New Day, his sumptuous new album, a collection of songs
exploring the theme of love. "I didn't set out to write lyrics just
about love, yet almost all the songs have the theme of broken lives
that can be mended by love. My challenge was to write a happy love
song without being banal or smug. For example, 'Brand New Day,' the
last song, begins with a jaundiced view and then moves toward
acceptance, to diving back into love. It's basically the thought
that failing in love is an act of optimism - and I think if the
album has a tone, for me...it's an optimistic one." Incorporating
highly rhythmic elements, echoes of Miles Davis and medieval
plainsong, of Algerian pop and American Country Music, Brand New
Day also ranges, with typical Sting audacity, over a world of
styles - here's love in abundance of musical tongues. For every
irresistible hook or melody, there's a rhythmic challenge or
instrumental surprise. "Trying to write simple pop songs over a
compound time is my idea of a crossword puzzle - or
three-dimensional chess," Sting explains. "That's my obsession."
"And," he laughs, "I think people expect that of me to throw them a
few loops here and there. They'd probably be disappointed if I
didn't.' Co-produced by Sting and producer/programmer Kipper and
featuring Sting's customary peerless collaborators - guitarist
Dominic Miller, drummers Manu Katche and Vinnie Colaiuta - and
guest stars James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Branford Marsalis, Chris
Boti and Cheb Mami, Sting's seventh solo studio outing builds on
the legacy of a visionary original, impatient with labels,
categories.
