Joe Sumner, frontman of Fiction Plane and son of Sting, has shared a new song, “Hope,” along with a short celebrity-filled clip to encourage voter turnout ahead of the 2020 elections. The clip features Sting, Ben Folds, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Richard Marx and more. “Hope” is a bustling pop-rock track with rumbling drums and stirring guitar lines to bolster Sumner’s heart-on-sleeve lyrics: “Hope, won’t you come back to me,” he sings during the chorus, “And make me a believer/And set my heart free.”

Sting appeared (remotely, from Italy) on the One Show on BBC1 on 23 October where he was interviewed and performed 'Little Something' with Melody Gardot. Catch the appearance again on the BBC iPlayer here...
