Soldier of Love

Sade

A stark, cinematic return defined by martial rhythms and desert-dry production. Soul music stripped to its skeletal, weather-beaten essence.

February 5, 2010 · Epic

Find on Amazon

A stoic and weathered resilience that finds beauty in emotional scars.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, martial drum beat that kicks off the title track, signaling a harder edge than previous albums.
The devastatingly sparse piano and cello arrangement on 'Morning Bird' that leaves Sade's voice completely exposed.
The way the reggae-tinged rhythm of 'Babyfather' provides a rare, sun-drenched reprieve from the album's general austerity.
