Is she poised for a Maxwell-style career resurgence?

Sade will release her sixth album, Soldier of Love, on Tuesday. It's been 10 years since her last LP, Lovers Rock, and while this outing is not drastically different from her work in the past, that's by no means a bad thing. Her voice is still soaked in the raw emotions of love, whether it's newfound or lost, and accompanied by usually soft backing from bassist Paul Denman, guitarist/saxophonist Stuart Matthewman, and keyboardist Andrew Hale.
However, the album's title track and first single is anything but soft. Drums beat like a marching band headed toward the battlefield, as Sade sings about coping with a broken heart: "I'm at the borderline of my faith/ I'm at the hinterland of my devotion/ I'm in the frontline of this battle of mine, but I'm still alive.

Here it is folks!
Soldier Of Love, the first single from Sade’s highly anticipated forthcoming new album of the same name.
The full album, as I previously reported, is set to make its worldwide debut on February 8th, 2010.
Sade co-produced the single Soldier Of Love with Mike Pela, which was written by Sade, along with longtime collaborators Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul Spencer Denman.
Listen to it via the player below and share your thoughts below. Can’t say I’m immediately taken by it; it might have to grow on me. Can’t wait to hear the whole album though.
Good night!
