Highlights from The Ivors 2023
In 2023 Sting received Fellowship of the Academy and Amazon Music broadcast live performances and backstage interviews from the ceremony.
“Of all the awards in the world of music, The Ivors are for me, the most prestigious. Songwriting is a skilled craft and The Ivors Academy are its guild. So, I am delighted and honoured to be offered this Fellowship of the Academy, joining and acknowledging this extraordinary group of fellow songwriters, and all of those who went before us.” Sting
To commemorate the honour, Amazon Music shared an exclusive demo of Sting’s track ‘If It’s Love’ off his latest album, The Bridge – offering a rare insight into the creative process of one of the world’s most eminent songwriters.
