Nothing Like the Sun

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Half

Sting's second and most conceptually dense solo album moved on from jazz to ideas picked up from Latin music. Even when he's not using Latin music's tricky polyrhythms, the melodies of the ballad "Be Still My Beating Heart" and the hit dance single "We'll Be Together" suggest he'd been listening to lots of salsa. If you can sting, you can cross-pollinate, too, and there are some other subtle hybrids here, notably the Gil Evans Orchestra's gliding arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" and the reggae-in-a-Cole Porter suit of "Englishman in New York." Of course, the former schoolteacher has some lyrical messages to deliver and the three songs that originally made up the second side of a double LP are a bitter meditation on Latin American politics and history. --Douglas Wolk

    Decent CD

    ...I love Sting but there were only a couple of songs I really liked in the CD; but maybe I didn't do it justice by listening to the whole thing often enough. Usually songs will grow on me over time. read more

    sting revisits his best hits (fragile, englishman in new york, and more), and really delivers a great performance.

    Pros & Cons :
    it does include a few of his best songs yet, but just witnessing how the sublime and timeless "fragile" can segue into the bombastic overproduction of "we'll be together" shows the artist still in the midst of achieving artistic equilibrium.

    Pros & Cons :
    those with the best stereo systems will appreciate the sense of space on nothing like the sun, with a warm echo-ey ambience, and sting seeming a little removed from the listener, not directly in front and breathing down your chest.

    ...Maybe you will find the same things to admire in it I did. A word about the recording. Nothing Like The Sun sounds so different from most modern pop recordings. There is ample dynamic range, from ... read more
