Deserted Rhythm

For so many artists today from the past, they always have to try to reinvent themselves to make a quick buck these days. That was truly the case for Sting. When he had his 1999 record Brand New Day on the market, he had a few fallbacks after the first few months on the charts. Then, as Desert Rose hit the charts, and the Jaguar commercial base, his record sales skyrocketed. For Desert Rose, it is considered a rhythmatic and soulful vibe between the Middle-Eastern world and our world in the West. The song just makes you want to get up and dance until Midnight. It is just a shame that people don't give much respect to the Middle East now, because of War. Still, Desert Rose is truly a unbelieveable song to hear, and Sting keeps that unity alive.

A rare piece of work

Desert Rose is a magnificent piece of work that has brought together an epic mixture. A haunting melody superimposes an enigmatic middle eastern theme on top of layers of western beat to set the canvas for a desert fable. On that canvas, the powerfully composed lyrics paint a dreamy picture which get more complex with the accompanying Arabic vocals. Together, the pieces have created a hypnotic work of art rarely seen in today's horrid shallowness of the rock scene. Desert Rose surpasses in accomplishment the similar epic classic from Led Zeppelin, Kashmir.

IT'S GREAT! BUY IT!

I just bought the single 2 days ago and I have played it over and over again. The music truly has a wonderful beat and it is definitely a keeper, you will not be disappointed. I promise!
