Today's Morning Edition music is from Sting with "I Can't Stop Thinking About You" from his new album "57th and 9th."

Sting will be performing Thursday night at the Myth nightclub in Maplewood. His son Joe Sumner is one of the opening acts.

During his 40-year career, Sting has explored a wide variety of musical styles from reggae to jazz to world beat to classical. But with this new album, he returns to his roots as a rock 'n' roller. And on this tour he's digging into the back catalog to perform songs like this one by his first band, the Police.
