New Sting album in October: If On a Winter's Night

Sting has confirmed that he will be releasing a new album, If On a Winter's Night, late October. According to his website, this "new album [will be] dedicated to his favorite season - Winter - a season which has inspired countless songwriters over the centuries and produced a wealth of music exploring all of its many guises." The album will feature Sting interpreting traditional music from the British Isles - songs, carols and lullabies. And it will have two of Sting's original compositions too.
