Album Review
Sting scored a moderate comeback success greater than most had imagined possible with 1999's Brand New Day, reestablishing himself as a viable commercial artist instead of merely settling for "living legend" status. Part of this success was due to "Desert Rose," featuring vocalist Farhat Bouallagui's careening cadences that garnered attention, particularly when they were showcased in a car commercial that kicked the album into high commercial gear. Sting picks up on this, adding three guest vocalists to the ten-track Sacred Love album (the 11th track is a remix of the lead single, "Send Your Love" — which happens to be better, since it eliminates the rather annoying Indian-styled hook) — Vicente Amigo and Anoushka Shankar are paired with Mary J. Blige, who in this context is presented as a world music artist. Although Sacred Love is too meticulous, predictable, and focused on its own artistic maturity, it manifests professionalism, precision, and impeccable craft as an album of well-tailored, expensive mood music.
Recent Customer Reviews
I did not expect to like this album...
by FootInMouth...and it became a favorite. Tackling "love" on a CD is risky - it can turn out sappy, overbearing, or just plain stupid. Not here though. Instead we get real-world tales of love in many guises. In each, the melody is cleverly matched to the story. "The Book of My Life" is riveting - a view inside the author's heart. Throughout, the lyrics are intellectual yet accessible - they make you think without being OTT. An awful lot of thought must have gone into this album, and then the music was performed flawlessly with amazing attention to detail. One of the few CDs I can play front-to-back and then go right back to the front again. That's fresh!
Give C. Kenneth Lee's "Breakaway" a try from iTunes
by Candis P.I think it's neat that sting is trying something new. Pretty cool. very hip.
Sacred Love, Sacred Love
by dmb101Among my favorite Sting albums, Sacred Love is almost like a sibling album to Brand New Day from four years earlier. The songwriting is brilliant and the musicianship of not just Sting but his entire band was never better. The best songs on the CD are "Sacred Love", "This War", and "Forget About the Future". It's easily one of the most solid albums in this genius' long catalog.
