3.0 out of 5 stars Sting - SACRED LOVE (2003), August 6, 2006

This review is from: Sacred Love (Audio CD)

Following his surprise "comeback" on 1999's BRAND NEW DAY, Sting disappeared for four years before releasing SACRED LOVE. Picking up on the success of guest musicians from the previous album (Farhat Bougallagui, Ste), Sting brought in Mary J. Blidge ("Whenever I Say Your Name"), Vincente Amigo ("Send Your Love"), and Anoushaka Shankar ("The Book Of My Life"), while venturing further into techno. The big problem with SACRED LOVE is that Sting seems to be focusing more on the sound of the music than the actual quality of the songs. This makes for an album that's a nice, moody listen, but lacks the punch of Sting's previous recordings. Though there's a wealth of enjoyable songs, only a few (the angry poke at George W. Bush on "This War", the sing-along tune "Like A Beautiful Smile") may be considered among Sting's best. In the end, though it's far from a bad album, SACRED LOVE is purely for Sting devotees.
