Sade’s Back After Ten Long Years
Sade’s album release schedual bugs me. I hate the amount of time inbetween Sade releases, so after ten years (not counting Lovers Live because as good as it was there was no new material.) I figured I would make Sade wait on me.
So on Febuary 09 2010,, I went to the store and purchased a copy of Soldier of Love,,, but I didn’t listen to it till the next day. Take that Ms.Sade! Maybe the next album will only take nine years to finish.
O.K.! I take it all back, the ten year hiatus didn’t feel that long, especiallysince this album seems to pickup where Lovers Rock left off. Once again this album pulls from a varitey ofdifferentstyles of music, including colors of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Electronica, Rock, Country, and Reggae.
Lyrically it feels likea personal conversation with Ms. Adu or listining to her introspective, and after watching the making of the album, I was supreised to hear that none of the music or lyrics were made before going to the studio. I think that adds to the organic feel andcohesivenessof the project.
Speaking of the studio.. The audio mix is outstanding! A song that seem simple like Morning Bird, on second listen has deep textures and sounds that reside in there own sonic space.
I hope that this album does two things. 1st I hope it ignites the mainstream seek out more music and artists that lyrically and musically have something to say. 2nd I hope this album bring Sade out on tour.
Finally, I’m looking forward to hearing some new Sade remixes and mashups.
[...] Sade is out promoting her new album. She stopped by a couple of the late night talk shows to preform Soldier of Love and Babyfather. [...]
