The former leader and founder of the zepso band The Police also revealed what we can expect from the new album. As he stated, some of the songs have been remastered, others have been rearranged, while all will have a contemporary and more modern feel.
Will it be another reheated chop in the music market, going for the easy way to make easy money? Or will it be a new, interesting and original take on this artist's old work? Time will tell, we are certainly eager to get acquainted with this album, and what do you think?
