Sting

In the summer of 2001, Sting was riding high on the success of his album "Brand New Day," which came out in late 1999. This phase of his career showcased a blend of pop, jazz, and world music influences, reflecting his evolution as an artist. The Montreux performance on July 21 features "Big Lie Small World," a track that encapsulates his lyrical depth and musical complexity, a hallmark of his post-Police solo work. Interestingly, during this time, Sting continued to embrace socially conscious themes, and his live shows were known for their dynamic arrangements and intimate storytelling. Montreux is renowned for its vibrant music festival atmosphere, making this concert a memorable experience for attendees, as well as a pivotal moment for Sting, who has always thrived in live performance settings, forging a profound connection with his audience.
