I like this cut, when I first heard the beat come in I wasn't sure but by the midway point I was bobbing my head. Not necessarily what I would expect from Sade as far as the music but it's a groove.
She's a gift to our ears. After J-Lo's computerized altered voice, Beyonce's repetitive lyrics (how many times can u repeat the verse "all u single ladies?) and Rihanna's suicidal album over Chris Brown, it's about time. Hey, those are instruments in the background, not a computer!

She does sitll sound the same to me. I will buy this CD /album. I love me some "Whit" though. and have her CD. My grandbaby is due on the 29rh. Her name ins Sade, but spelled "Sharday.
This is the Sade I know and love the beat is off the chart and makes you want to hear more catches your attention when you hear it you wonder who is that and her present blends in to the flow right on time. That's Sade singers take note here is the lady with the golden throat with the note
Ahhh, refreshing. Sade is like a cold glass of ice water on a hot summer day! Thank goodness she's back. She's sensual without compromising her soul. She's one of the few singers that my husband and I can both enjoy. I can't wait to get the new cd...right in time for my birthday!
I love it! She has been missed.. I can't wait for 2/8/10 so I can listen to more!!! She is always timeless and classic. Now a days, I can't even turn the radio on in my car with my daughter becasue of the lyrcis of many of these songs. I've listened to this song over and over!! Love it!
It took a min or 2 to grow on me but I was soon feelin it. I luv Sade and thank my mom for introducing her to me and real music. I agree w/ambde about Whitney and the others. I heard her song the other day on the radio and thought WTH is this. R&B is gettin away from the real, that's why I very seldomly listen to the radio. I am so thankful that Sade is back and pray that she neva stays away this long again. LOL
I have always loved Sade and I will definitely get the album . I think that she is one of those consistent artists when it comes to her music. You know what you are going to get when you purchase one of her albums. She's definitely not a 1 or 2 album wonder like majority of the newer artists. Anytime you can step away from the game for like 5 - 8 years a pop and come back and sell out concerts and albums you have got to be like that. Beyonce watch out! You aint got nothing on Sade. LOL
Its too Sade, I need her to evolve a little bit. I'm not expecting her to go mainstream get any autotune or have kanye produce, but any number of her previous songs could be sung to this beat, so its too predictable. I would have to hear the rest of the album because this piece does not do it for me.
This is relentless Sade. This cut is just as smooth and sulstry as her previous music. This is the Groove, and I am hoping that this CD will follow the fruits of success as "Stronger Than Pride" and "Diamond Life".
I'm happy she is back on the scene. However, with a sound like hers, she doesn't need to put out a CD every year or every other year. Her sound speaks for itself. It's in a class alone, where only a few female artist can mesaure up, but no one can touch. Her music and style is on a Island of its own. It's in Paradise.
A very beautifully well rendition i was spell bond. I like the rhythms and lyrics it for the time and express feeling of courage and bravery of solders and people everwhere experincing a similar hounor of hope and peace and love vibes I see in this song Sade offers, well doe loving it.
Interesting beat, haunting melody. However, the song goes on for too long, tho'. Too much of the same thing for too long. A couple of changes would make it better.
Yeah she's baaaack!!!! Not completely typical Sade but she laid this down nicely. Proves why she doesn't have to come out with a new CD every year. Her sound lasts throughout time. The CD is bought.
Sade is the epitamy of our nubian sisters,queens,and matriarchs of our tribes. She has a quality that informs us, teaches us where we are in the time line of history in choruses that are the heartbeats of her peoples pains and she is the healer. All she put together have a meaning and a message for you....if you are listening. Her love for us is unquestionable, and deep.Please buy the album, not because of her name...but the messages to her tribes....lol
I love the new song " Soldier of Love" there is strength and depth in her voice. The tone
is a little heavy at first, but then the old Sade comes out immediately after the first couple of notes. Glad she is back . Didn't know what had happened to her ; it has been
a while since she has recorded anything new. Yes, I will purchase the CD.
Yes this is what it's all about movement ,motovation, lyrical love making and she doe's it all through her melodic voice. I grew up on this sound thanks for the beauty of song sistah!
The beat is awesome and the entire concept futuristic. I can relate whole-heartedly. Yes I will buy this album. It will be my Birthday gift to me since my birthday is Feb 6th. Thanks for returning with the power of groove.....
Hope to meet Sade someday!!

Since the first day I heard songs from this young lady I fell in love with her style of relating her perception of life and its battles and conquers she has faced and experienced. I have great respect for this artist and damn she has brought us something new again. she has a blessed gift to reinvent her style which is different but acceptable in my book. Keep on keeping on sade................Peace sister

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza to all.....Sade has been an inspiration to me every since I first heard of her. Her soulful voice is outstanding and her messages are the clearest on record. She also has a feel for the plight of people all around the globe and has a fight in her unparralelled by other artist out there. When I listen to her I gain the strenth and courage to endure and continue on the path laid out by the creator. This latest sound and message has more to do with where you are and how to keep focused and perservere through the trials continuously. I love her and hope she knows we all do.....

Yes the Queen of Love has return!!!!!!!! I was dying listening to that crap they play on the radio these days. This is real music, Music from the gut of the soul!!! She should be the blue print for how to make real good music.
It's vintage Sade mixed with Lovers Rock Sade. I can hear it in the beat (reminds me of "Paradise" (the live version) and I can hear it in her voice when she says "I wait for the sound."
I love this woman!!!!!! I have waited for her to do her thang for a minute now. I'm glad she's back. Soldier of Love. Man, this is the JAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go girl!! Do you!
David Kiehlmeier....you made me laugh pretty hard with your comment. I agree with you completely. I have always loved Sade and I always will. She has so much class and doesn't have to go commercial to sale.
I found this song interesting, solder of love...will to survive...trying my hardest...doing by best to stay a live like a solder.
Her song is expressing the fight humans endure to stay a live....front line... of your life.
To clarify things: listen to her lyrics, read them: shes sending a message to us
'life has no meaning,my heart is broken and I've lost the use of my heart but i am still alive, i wake up eat,go to work, i do not feel anything.I move like a zombie.I am hopeful that there is life on the other side( after death that is ) this world is wild ,tough and bitter, but i am still doing my best to survive. I lost faith, am at the border line ; i am battling my sorrows,fighting to stay alive. I am alive but not living. I am like a solder, no emotions, just moving forward for the rest of my life. We are all solders of life, we will struggle till the end of life. Despite lifes circumstances i choose to survive, i shall not giveup, i will keep moving on, i have the will to survive.
I cried when i heard her lyrics, it reminds me of my own struggles in this life, i am forced to be a solder; moving on with no emotions.There are days i would like to give up, but i cannot i have to keep moving like a soldier.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It's a wild wild west
I'm doing my best
I'm at the borderline of my faith,
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I'm still alive
I'm a soldier of love.
Every day and night
I'm soldier of love
All the days of my life
I've been torn up inside (oh!)
I've been left behind (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound
(oooh oohhh)
I know that love will come (that love will come)
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love)
Every day and night

I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life
I am lost
But I don't doubt (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(4x)
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(3x)
Still waiting for love to come
