Producers: Kipper, Sting, Victor Calderone, Dave Aude. "Whenever I Say Your Name" won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. "Send Your Love" was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. SACRED LOVE seems like the culmination of a process that began 10 years earlier with Sting's TEN SUMMONER'S TALES album. While his first three solo albums were dense, cerebral affairs, that one began a move towards simplification and broader commercial appeal. While SACRED LOVE's predecessor was perhaps Sting's slickest, most pop-oriented album, this one seems to strike an easy balance between his weighty lyrical concerns and a broad-based, accessible sound. As on his 1999 hit "Desert Rose," Sting uses world rhythms to spice things up here, employing sitar and Middle Eastern percussion on "The Book of My Life." An undercurrent of the R&B feel of BRAND NEW DAY can still be felt here as well, lending ballast to even his airiest harmonic moments. He even reprises the single "Send Your Love" (initially given worldbeat feel) as a percolating electronic dance track at the album's end, and it's perhaps a tribute to his musical facility that it sounds equally effective.

Top Reviews  OMG! OMG! OMG! 5 of 6 people found this review helpful. I was fortunate enough to be in the crowd at the outdoor ampitheater in Tampa when Sting and Annie Lennox did their concert there two years ago. Or was it three? Who cares? It was a timeless performance which mesmerized me from beginning to end. I'm now in the 55+ crowd, and although there were many of us there that night and it was getting past our bedtimes, we still managed to rock on. I was one of the last people to leave the concert that night simply because I was so thrilled with this performance. His video of Sacred Love was spectacular. You could feel the audience responding to this wholly and completely. The name of his tour with Annie, I think was called The Sacred Love Tour. I already owned the CD before the concert, so when I heard about it I got the best seats available. As with every Sting CD, it's nearly impossible to pick out a favorite song. They are all works of art...each and every one. Review ID: 10000000002128690 Was this review helpful?
