New Sting Album

This past Tuesday one of my favorite artists Sting released his long-awaited collection of music titled: Songs From The Labyrinth.

In the interest of full disclosure I must say that most would find this particular recording odd. The record is a collection of music from a 17th century "pop" artist named John Dowland. The whole album is performed by Sting and a world-renowned lute player named Edin Karamazov. As a credit to Stings musicianship, Sting himself plays lute on a few tracks.

The album as a whole is quite easily said, refreshing. With post-grunge, and pop/rock filling the Tuesday releases week after week, a completely new (old) form of music done by a modern pop artist is very stimulating. If you are a lover of music you should enjoy this reservoir of audio candy.
