STING DOES NOT LIKE TODAY’S POP MUSIC

Sting says that he finds understanding the music composed by today’s artists very difficult. “Today’s music is not designed for me. I don’t understand a Beyonce or Justin Timberlake,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling PageSix.com. Sting also says that an artist should make such music that can give a “spiritual” experience to the listeners, rather than aiming to top chart positions and record sales. And, as far as his voice is concerned, Sting feels that his vocals have become more mature with the course of time. “For me, singing is a spiritual journey. I’m devoutly musical. As for my voice, I’d say it’s become more mature. Encrypted with life, it’s developed texture,” he says.
