Amidst a bluesy mellow backdrop, Sade releases their first solo album, "Soldier of Love," since 2000.

While I am certainly not a expert in music, even the most novice ear is transported to a smoky night club with the only light coming from the small candlelit tables and the beautiful woman on stage. The songs are smooth and poetic and completely signature to Sade’s trademark sound.

The album was released worldwide on February 8, 2010, but you can enjoy a look and listen of the title track on their website.
