The Bridge showcases Sting's prolific and diverse songwriting prowess, with this new set of songs representing styles and genres explored throughout his unrivalled career. The album was written in a year of global pandemic and finds Sting ruminating on personal loss, separation, disruption, lockdown, and extraordinary social and political turmoil. Exploring a multitude of concepts and themes, a “bridge” represents the enduring and ever-evolving link between ideas, cultures, continents, and even the banks of a river. It’s also a route into the past, and so it was that Sting found himself considering the music and the places that have formed his own foundations, and that indeed are embedded in his very DNA. Representing various stages and styles from throughout his career and drawing inspiration from genres including rock n' roll, jazz, classical music and folk, the eclectic album features everything from quintessential Sting pop/rock tracks to new indie-pop sounding tunes and electronic ballads!
