Sade continues to be an artist who blends melancholy and longing into a intoxicating musical cocktail. Her latest work, Solider of Love, will give hardcore fans reason to rejoice in that the formula still works.

Beginning with the passionate, “The Moon and The Sky”, the mood is set for most of the CD, with exception of the harder urban production of first single and title track, “Soldier of Love”. For some new fans to Sade’s work, the aforementioned single may through them off in light of the rest of the project. However just let the reggae-influenced, “Babyfather”, the classic R&B swing of “In Another Time”, and sincerity of “Long Hard Road” marinate in your head. Then, you’ll realize why this woman and this band have had the successful career that now spans over 25 years. A haunting lyric that ends the CD continues the solider motif with “The Safest Place”.

…my heart has been a lonely warrior / that’s been to war / so you can be sure / In my heart / your love has found / the safest hiding place..

Younger artists would love to have such a unique impact on popular music for so long. You will not regret this music purchase.
