Sting's Songs From the Labyrinth
Posted: 13 Oct 2006 03:11So, has anybody bought it? What do you think? Stewart?
At first I thought he had lost his mind, but I was willing to give it a try. I saw him perform on the TODAY show the other day, and I nearly fell off my chair. It sounds similar to classical guitar, and the vocals are similar to when he sings Message In A Bottle acoustically. Really, although the songs are 400 years old, they are timeless, and not all that different from some of the mellow songs Sting has been doing for a while now. I'm generally not a fan of mellow stuff, but I like some of the stripped down songs he's done for movies, like Someone To Watch Over Me, and some of these songs are quite similar. It certainly beats those dance mixes - YUCK! If you like classical music, you should pick up the cd. XM is broadcasting the fan club performance on Monday, with re-broadcasts throughout the week, if you'd like to check out a sample before you buy. Also, he'll be on that NBC show Studio 60 next week, playing these songs.
