Zenyattà Mondatta

Zenyattà Mondatta, the Police's third studio album from 1980, tightens the band's fusion of rock, new wave and reggae-influenced pop with concise, rhythmically driven songs that highlight Sting's melodic bass and vocals, Stewart Copeland's syncopated drumming, and Andy Summers' chiming, textured guitar. The album pairs catchy pop hooks with rhythmic sophistication and spare arrangements, and includes well known tracks such as "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" that exemplify the group's blend of punk energy and pop accessibility.
