Ten years...
And the Queen of Soulful Mystique is back and she's better than ever. Sade is one of the few musicians who is truly an artist. An artist who can make six albums in 25 years of recording and still be considered the biggest selling artist in Europe! Sade has that kind of power. Her music is so soulful, so naked, so beautiful and ethereal it takes on immense universal appeal and she totally captivates everyone. I've been anticipating this album for months once I heard of her return. I've always been an enormous fan of her music since the 80's when she released "Smooth Operator." I've always found her music to be sensuous and soul-stirring.
On her new album, Sade does not disappoint. This is a true Sade album. The title song "Soldier of Love" defines the conceptual atmosphere of the entire album. Her songs of heartache, heartbreak, love and longing continue to endure long after a song has ended. Whether it be the mighty "Soldier of Love" or darkly beautiful "Moon and the Sky," Sade brings such metaphysical beauty to each track.
At 51, she is a woman of timelessness. Her longevity endures. She is one of the most unique, inspired, and original artists of our time. Growing up, her music was often played during the "Quiet Storm" hour of black radio. And that's the best way to describe her. She is a quiet storm ...set to sound.
