I like this. It will probably take further listens to totally love it, but it's enjoyable.

I prefer the original, one of my favorite songs of all time.

There was another remix by Ben Watt that was House-oriented. It had a Latin type feel to it. It was only on the 12" promos. I wish it had more of the vocals.
Junior Vasquez also did a really good remix using the album version. Despite the high tempo of it and the slowed down vocals, it was gorgeous.

She's bringing some 'quality' into music again. It would be a dream if herself and Maxwell did a tour together. Or Sade, Maxwell and Alicia Keys got together and toured. OMG!

OMG someone will have to bring me back from the dead if any of those three happens, Maxwell with any of these ladies would be incredible, all three and I probably wont be able to afford the tickets lol. I did see Maxwell this year though and the man is like fine wine.

Sade makes music with real instrumentation. A Keys plays a piano with tracks. Sade could sell out arenas by themselves.

With this blasting out of the box, I wonder if they move up the release. Also, does anyone know if they are going to release the radio edit as a digital single?

Soldier of Love The Moon and the Sky Morning Bird Baby Father The Safest Place Long Hard Road Be That Easy Bring Me Home In Another Time Skin Sade, the R&B group featuring vocalist Sade Adu, will release its first collection of new material in almost ten years, "Soldier of Love," on Feb. 8, 2010 through Epic Records. The singer/songwriter, looking as youthful as ever in a black, silk pant suit and her staple slicked-back ponytail after revealing herself to thrilled members of the media, previewed the album in New York City's Frederick P. Rose Hall at Lincoln Center last night (Dec. 14). "Soldier" is produced by Sade along with the band's friend and longtime collaborator Mike Pela. The band's lineup remains virtually unchanged since its inception in 1983, and the songs on "Soldier" are written primarily by Adu, saxophone and guitar player Stuart Matthewman, bassist Paul Spencer Denman and keyboard player Andrew Hale. "The Moon and the Sky" finds Adu declaring her devotion to her former lover, singing, "I pulled in all the stars and the moon/laid them on your feet till I gave you my love/you are the one that got me started/you could let me love anyone, but I only wanted you/why did you make me cry? Why didn't you come get me one last time," over choppy violins and simple drums. The title track, which was released last week as the first single, begins with a gentle wind, followed by muted trumpets. "I've lost the use of my heart, but I'm still alive/still looking for the light in the endless pool on the other side," Adu croons in her husky voice over marching band drums and smeared electric guitar riffs. The heartfelt "Morning Bird" is packed with strings, piano strokes and tambourine clatter, as Sade questions, "How could you? You are the river/I told this life, how could you/you are the morning day, you sang me into life/everyday, fly away, you are the blood of me/the heart of my dream." She commends a man's fatherly instincts on "Baby Father" over a guitar and drums, while she shelters the love of her companion on "The Safest Place," singing, "In my heart, your love has found the safest hiding place" over a piano-based production. "Long Hard Road" has dramatic violins and "Be That Easy" is reminiscent of a country love song with guitars and whistles. Meanwhile, Sade sounds pained on "Bring Me Home," with lyrics like, "I've cried for the lives I've lost/I feel so close but far away from God;" "In Another Time" is one of the album's highlights, with a stunning violin arrangement and saxophones; and "Skin" features a delicate drum and bass beat. Sade's 2000 release, "Lovers Rock," sold 3.9 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Does this woman use the fountain of youth very often? Because she is AGELESS. :o :o
She looks like she's in her mid-30's rather than 50!
And I am literally anticipating this album so much - they haven't released a duff LP yet!

@ this song. It's so hot and contemporary, yet classic like all of Sade's music. What a way to come back. First, Maxwell and now this. I love how she uses that Timbaland sound effect in it and martial drums are the new strings!

Damn this woman looks so good, she's like a fine wine.
Somehow this reminds me of a Nina Simone remix.

I've been looking at their past album chart positions and certifications. I had no clue Sade was/is so successful here.
