or Zenyatta Mondatta, Synchronicity
made the Police global superstars, generating no less than five classic hit singles. – Every Breath You Take
(featuring a seductive, rolling beat masking its malice) King of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger,
and Synchronicity II
. The album’s title and much of the material for the songs were inspired by Arthur Koestler’s The Roots of Coincidence. At the 1984 Grammy Awards the album was nominated for a total of five awards including Album of the Year.
