Sade - Soldier Of Love

Don't get me wrong, I truly love Sade. She is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her singing is like that of a magical song bird of some sort, her voice does something to me, her songs take me to a place of calmness. I feel like I'm at peace with the world when I listen to her music. Nevertheless, I am not happy with the lead off single from her new album. "Soldier Of Love," the first single and title of the new album, is a slow tempo song with a military theme to it, this doesn't work for me. Though she still sounds good as ever, the track is not what I'm use to hearing from Sade. Most of her previous hits are up tempo with a contemporary jazz feel, just listen to hits like "Smooth Operator" or "Lovers Rock" and you will immediately tell something is missing with "Soldier Of Love." The good thing is, this is only the first single from the long anticipated record. If the album sounds anything like the single, well, her record company can expect lack-luster sales. But knowing Sade and her previous work, I can bet me last dollar this album will be amazing just like all of her other material. I promise, Sade will not let us down.
