Incredible.
Ladies and gentlemen, the first new single from Sade in nearly a decade has finally been released and—wow!— it is nothing short of awesome.
It’s the title track from her highly anticipated upcoming album Soldier Of Love, due February 8, 2010.
But of course you didn’t come here to read my pitiful ramblings, you came to check the track out. Go ‘head and press play.
