SADE - Soldier of Love (2010)

After a 10-year hiatus, Sade Adu has re-emerged on the music scene with a remarkable opus entitled Soldier of Love. Upon review, one will find that when the sacred and secular combine, therein, at the crux, lies Sade. The 10 tracks on Soldier flow seamlessly together—showcasing the harmonious spiritual connection between Paul Spencer Denman, Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and lead singer, Sade Adu. And according to the band’s electronic press kit, they never enter the studio with a set agenda or prepared lyrics. They just let the music create itself organically. Such a natural, free-flowing process is a rare occurrence in the contemporary landscape—especially over a thirty-year time period. The band originally formed in 1982, but has only released five studio albums to date. So when Sade’s musical history is kept in mind, the 10-year wait for Solider of Love was not intentional, because the group ultimately believes that music should only be created when one has something to say.

As “soldiers of love,” the members of Sade know (and trust) that love has the power to conquer all—pain, tragedy and confusion. Thus, the opening track, “The Moon and the Sky,” addresses an unknown lover saying: “you always know the reason why / why this love ain’t gonna let you go.” The final notes segue into military cadence of “Soldier of Love” where Adu finds herself at the “borderline of [her] faith” and the “hinterland of [her] devotion.” In spite of all the drama, there is ray of a sunshine at the fringes of despair. On the following track, “Morning Bird,” the delicate piano notes rise softly like the morning sun.
