The Police singer and bassist Sting released “If It’s Love”, new song from his upcoming album “The Bridge” that will be out November 19. The musician talked in an official statement about the song, saying: “I’m certainly not the first songwriter to equate falling in or out of love with an incurable sickness, nor will I be the last. ‘If It’s Love’ is my addition to that canon where the tropes of metaphorical symptoms, diagnosis, and downright incapacity are all familiar enough to make each of us smile ruefully.”

Hear the new Sting song “If It’s Love”:

“These songs are between one place and another, between one state of mind and another, between life and death, between relationships. Between pandemics, and between eras – politically, socially and psychologically, all of us are stuck in the middle of something. We need a bridge.”
