Sting has announced he will be releasing a new album, "If On a Winter's Night..." on October 27. The album, inspired by the former Police singer's favorite season, will feature two originals along with traditional songs and carols from the UK.

"The theme of winter is rich in inspiration and material," Sting said in a statement. "By filtering all of these disparate styles into one album I hope we have created something refreshing and new."
