 Music for the soul March 10, 2010
Daniel Murphy (Queensland, Australia)
With their sixth album in twenty five years, Sade has returned with their latest album Soldier of Love and has recaptured the imaginations and ears of listeners worldwide. With their lush sounds and renowned stunning smoky vocals they have set a benchmark for any other artist to live up to.
Their opening track The Moon and the Sky is rippling with emotive vocals and lyrics setting the tone for the entire release. The track is a welcome reminder of what Sade is all about. The ambience and relaxing qualities make the track standout from anything that they have previously done.
The title track Soldier of Love is far more percussive than anything the band has ever released. The sharp hip/hop sounds are a step in a new direction for the band while, at the same time, staying true to what is almost expected.
Babyfather shows the band experimenting with an almost Jamaican sound and is composed of lush sounds and lyrics telling the story of a father/daughter relationship. It's sweet and melodic and leaves the heart of anyone who has troubles with their father aching to pick up the phone and just call him to say hello.
Not content to stay with one genre, further experimentation comes across in Be That Easy which is a borderline country music track. The relaxed vocals and melody create a comfortable atmosphere for the ear. The unobtrusive sounds are calming and blend easily into the background.
Other tracks on the album blend seamlessly into each other. The smooth production and careful consideration, time and effort that has been put into each and every song shows resplendently and showcases the sheer overwhelming talent that the band posses.
The final track is The Safest Place and will remind any listener of what they experienced when they first heard Sade. The same ambient instruments. The relaxed atmosphere. The chilled out vocals. The culmination of what has made Sade such a landmark band since their inception all those years ago.
Soldier of Love is not only an album suited to a dinner party but can be played when ready to kick back and relax after a long day at work. The true majesty of Sade is in abundance throughout the release. The beauty of the vocals and the calm tones of the music. It is a testament to why they have enjoyed such longevity without the ongoing and continual releases of some other artists which pollute today's airwaves.
DREAMY, MESMERIZING RELEASE March 10, 2010
M. Sexton (Fort Myers, FL United States)
Sade's new release is hypnotic and compelling; I have been listening to this CD over and over since it arrived, and I love it. It is not easy to peg--it's not cool jazz, exactly, and definitely not folk, pop or rock; it's just Sade doing something really unique and expressive. It's so dreamy, so easy to listen to, and so touching; a unique vision. Highly recommended!
Love this CD March 10, 2010
FON (Newark, NJ)
I LOVE ALL THE SONG ON SADE'S NEW CD. VERY CHIC AND VERY SADE. SHE STILL GOT IT GOING ON.
 don't buy it March 10, 2010
Glenn Earl Brathwaite (Panama City, Panama Panama)
I was so happy when I heard the Sade was comming out with a new album. When it finally came to my power, i've listened to it, over, and over, and over, and I don't like it. Their previus albums were way better. It seems that the run out of ideas o sounds, I really don't like it, and I don't recomend it either.
See you guys
Grown Folks music has officially returned. March 9, 2010
Lola (Florida)
After ten years the smooth sounds of Sade have finally returned; and it was long overdue. The band's vibe has not changed and Ms. Adu's voice is as strong and endearing as ever. If you want to unwind and clear your mind of the day's events this album is ideal. This record lives up to the if it ain't broke don't fix it motto. Soldier of Love, the title song, is an immediate classic, the drum rhythms are infectious. I am also drawn to In Another Time and Skin. The album is not trying to be innovative or cutting edge, it is just pure grown folks music.
