The first song is called ‘If it’s love’. “It makes you feel like you’re floating. I’ve been in love many times, but I’ve also given up in love. It’s a whole spectrum of emotions about love on this record and I can write about that with some authority.”
His favorite song on the album is about Antwerp. “There’s something about the city,” said Sting. “It’s beautiful, and there’s a rare kind of melancholy. A special atmosphere that I wanted to feel.”
40 years together
The singer has been happy with his wife Trudy Styler for 40 years. The couple married in 1992 when they were together for 10 years. “There’s no secret, we’re lucky enough to love each other, but more importantly, we like each other too.”
The singer has sold a total of more than 100 million albums and recently announced that he wants to sell his catalog of songs for 250 million euros.
