Main Performer
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. The austerity here is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is gently fascinating. [This edition includes the bonus track "Blake's Cradle Song" as well as a DVD presenting "The Genesis of 'If on a Winter's Night...' in six chapters."] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
