SADE
Soldier of Love
Epic Records

The singer who is easily the most recognizable and most-played vocal artist on radio for three decades and who has been the poster child of our genre since it’s inception, is poised for the release of her first album in ten years! Her 2000 release, LOVER’S ROCK sold 3.9 million copies in the U.S. Yes, Sade Adu has regrouped the band that bears her name, and SOLDIER OF LOVE is due for release on February 8th. The first single is the title track and it is marching its way straight up the charts. The groove is rich and compelling and the lyrics are deep and drenched with experience of love, which as we know is often a battlefield, hence this evocative line “I'm at the borderline of my faith, I'm at the hinterland of my devotion… in the frontline of this battle of mine… but I'm still alive.” Welcome back Sade… soldier on girl, we’ve been waiting a long time! ~SANDY SHORE
