Sade - Soldier of Love
Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 5:29PM 
The reclusive Sade, absent from the studio for a decade, makes a long awaited return with Soldier Of Love for her original label home Epic/Sony and her first since 2000's Lovers Rock. Details are scant, but we do have a cover along with the title and word that, predictably, she's been working with longtime associate Stuart Matthewman and her bandmates on the new collection of songs. The album is produced by the band along with engineer Mike Pena.
The Brit singer of Nigerian descent, who turned 50 this past January, broke into the mainstream in a massive way in the mid-80's with a succession of hugely successful albums of international appeal. Sade - as both singer and band - fashioned slinky, sensuous pop and R+B meshed with a jazzy world music rhythms for a sound that was distinctly her own. Following the release of 1992's multi-platinum Love Deluxe, the singer pretty much dropped out of sight, releasing only Lovers Rock in a nearly two decade time span.
