If you are really so eager to listen to Sting’s new album featuring compositions from John Dowland (1563 – 1626), entitled “Songs from the Labyrinth”, then we are glad to help you out. With the album being released on 16 October on the Deutsche Grammophon label, this label also provided a nice online listening session which is accessible to everyone. So enjoy it!
CORRECTION: the files are apparently not available yet to listen at … sorry for that.
On a sidenote, Sting has adapted the Police’s “Message in a Bottle” and his own “Fields of Gold” for lute and will also perform this during his forthcoming concerts to support the launch of the new album.

Sting also says that he is very particular about adding “organic” sounds to his music, and that that is the reason why he shunned a studio for the recording of his lates album “Songs From The Labyrinth”. “This particular album I made in our home in Tuscany. I don’t work in any thematically soundproofed room. I like ambient noises – fire crackling, birds singing, church bells. It’s organic,” he says.
