Today, 17-time Grammy Award winning artist Sting releases “Rushing Water,” the rocking opening salvo from his forthcoming album, The Bridge, slated for release on November 19, 2021 via A&M/Interscope/Cherrytree Records. The new song, available now on all digital service platforms, is accompanied by a performance-fueled, chiaroscuro music video, directed by Eric Ryan Anderson.


 

Sting says, “The song ‘Rushing Water’ is a fitting start to an album that seeks to bridge all of the petty differences that can separate us.”


Written by Sting, with music by Sting, Martin Kierszenbaum and Gavin Brown, “Rushing Water” features Dominic Miller and Gavin Brown on guitars, Josh Freese on drums, Martin Kierszenbaum on organ & keyboards, Fred Renaudin on additional synthesizers and Gene Noble on background vocals.


The Bridge, penned in a year of global pandemic, showcases Sting’s prolific and diverse songwriting prowess, with this new set of songs representing styles and genres explored throughout his inimitable career. The new song, “If It’s Love” – an infectious ear worm - is also available now on all digital platforms.
