It's funny, but a few years ago several people on this NG, including me
(should I admit this??) said it would be cool to hear Sting do some techno
pop songs. This was after Ray of Light was released. Hey, I liked and
STILL like that album and it's definitely techno. I was even wanting Sting
to collaborate with William Orbit.
Anyway, I wouldn't call myself a huge techno fan in any sense, but there is
some techno music that's actually very good, at least IMO. Does anyone else
like Depeche Mode? I'm not a big fan, but some of their stuff is great.
Anyway, I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about the new song. I definitely
don't hate it. At least I like the sentiment, however it also kinda reminds
me of Brand New Day. It is a bit fluffy as someone said. I'd prefer
something with a bit more dimension and detail to it. I'm holding out a lot
of hope for the rest of the album.
