Sting seeks to make a daring return to the spotlight of rock music. This is a good thing, seeing how it has been claimed by some stars that rock has lost it’s glamour and elevated status in the minds of many. It could be that performers like Sting with Star class is what the rock genre needs, but it seems more so that these artist should be leading the way and propping up new bands to follow in their footsteps as a parent would their own children. After all aren’t all the new generations of rock musicians their children in a way, what better way to return then helping others to reach the heights you have achieved.
“Sting is making a belated return to rock, crafting a new album of in-studio creations that will be titled 57th & 9th. Producer Martin Kierszenbaum compares it directly to his time in the Police, though Sting himself does not. “Most of it was done in an impulsive way – one or two takes,” Kierszenbaum says, in a new talk with Rolling Stone. “I don’t think he’s rocked like this since Synchronicity,” the Police’s 1983 swan-song studio effort.
