She’s on the battlefield and ready to fight. For love that is. Sade, the queen of the quiet storm, is back with the leading single “Soldier of Love’ from her upcoming album of the same name. From the first lone blows of the horn to the rhythmic drum rolls heard on the snare drum, Sade takes us right to the front lines as she goes to battle with her heart fighting against the only thing that’s constantly at war with her — love. With clever samples and production that makes me want to throw on some fatigues and throw down right along with her, this track is brilliant. This is exactly the kind of genius that we could expect from Sade whose last album was released in 2002 and reached platinum status several times. It’s everything we know and love from her. Smooth melodies. Tight harmonies. Unbelievable vocal ability. And that Sade swag. Once you hear this, you will love it. Guaranteed.
Solider of Love is set to drop Feburary 8, 2010.
