POP MUSIC; Lord Sting, at Peace In His Fields of Gold
1996
Overview
Belying its title, \"Mercury Falling\" continues Sting's trajectory away from the downbeat introspection that had become the hallmark of his post-Police career. Like his last full-scale studio album, \"Ten Summoner's Tales\" (1993), which sold more than eight million copies worldwide, \"Mercury Falling\" is an eclectic showcase for Sting's pop gifts, but the mood is more buoyant. There's even a song in which he sings, \"I saw a friend of mine/ He said I look different somehow/ I said everybody's got to leave their darkness behind sometime.\" True to form, Sting spans a wide spectrum of musical styles on \"Mercury Falling,\" from the Brazilian slide of \"I Was Brought to My Senses\" to the mock-country twang of \"I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying\" to \"Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot,\" a rousing gospel number that features a church choir and the Memphis Horns. In a review of the Academy concert, Jon Pareles of The Times said of Sting's new material, \"No other top 10 contender is so fond of odd meters or mid-song shifts of style.\" Sting at his 16th-century manor house near Stonehenge--Amellower and more aristocratic persona. (Jonathan Player for The New York Times) (pg. 1); Sting on his 60-acre estate southwest of London--Pastoral pleasures, mellower air. (Fabrizo Ferri); Sting in the 1988 film \"Stormy Monday\"--A performance called \"the movie's biggest surprise.\" (Atlantic Releasing); Sting in the 1984 movie \"Dune\"--He says he's \"not sitting by the phone waiting for Hollywood to call.\" (Universal Pictures); Sting, center, with Andy Summers, left and Stewart Copeland of the Police. (A&M Records)
