Sting Releases New Single 'I Can't Stop Thinking About You'

(Radio.com) Sting will be releasing a new album 57th & 9th in November, and on Wednesday (August 31) he shared the first single "I Can't Stop Thinking About You" off that project.

The album was recorded in a matter of mere weeks. "It happened very quickly, very spontaneously," Sting said about writing and recording his latest work. "My idea always is to surprise myself and the people I'm working with--and, hopefully, the listeners."

57th & 9th's title comes from the intersection Sting crossed every day in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood on his way to the studio. He said about the album's overall theme, "It's about searching and traveling, the road, that pull of the unknown. On this album, we ended up with something that's energetic and noisy, but also thoughtful."

The album features drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Guns n' Roses), guitarist Lyle Workman and the Tex-Mex band The Last Bandoleros. Read more here.
