Brand New Day: The Remixes

A rhythmic reimagining of Sting's world-pop era. Glossy house beats and trip-hop textures transform intellectual songwriting into late-night club anthems.

September 13, 2000 · Embedded

This album represents a fascinating intersection between Sting's late-nineties sophisticated pop and the burgeoning global dance scene of the new millennium. It takes the organic, jazz-inflected foundations of the original Brand New Day sessions and coats them in a layer of high-gloss digital lacquer. The result is an experience that feels both intellectual and visceral, where the philosophical musings of a veteran songwriter are propelled by the relentless energy of house and trance rhythms. It is the sound of the world getting smaller through technology and travel.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the Victor Calderone remix of Desert Rose stretches the Cheb Mami vocal into a trance-like state.

The sudden house piano chord stabs that punctuate the bridge of After the Rain Has Fallen.

The stripped-back percussion break in the middle of the Brand New Day remix that highlights the harmonica hook.
