5 out of 5 stars A Gentle Kind Of Glory   February 8, 2010
The Wolf (uk)

Ten years is a long time to linger between albums
but with a performer of Sade's impeccable calibre
the wait has been more than worthwhile.
(Can it really be a quarter of a century since we fell
head-over-heels in love with her debut 'Diamond Life'?!)

This collection of ten fine compositions finds her
graceful presence undiminished. The velvet tones of her
unforced voice have deepened and darkened with time.
Always a captivating instrument, it has never sounded
better than with this mesmerising new material.

There really are some amazing songs here.

The stripped-down arrangement of 'Morning Bird' allows
the intensity of the rapturous melody to shine through.

The martial rhythm of title track 'Soldier Of Love'
delivers one of the most unusual songs she has recorded
in her long and distinguished career. The complex, layered,
harmonies add depth and atmosphere to the central vocal
performance. Martin Ditcham's staccato percussion and
Stuart Matthewman's angular guitar are perfectly judged.

'Long Hard Road' is an elementally soulful track.
The languorous vocal is perfectly focussed and deeply affecting.

'Bring Me Home', too, tugs at the heart-strings.
A sixties-flavoured ballad of captivating beauty.

'Skin' has everything we have come to know and love
about Sade wrapped up in music and lyrics of immediately
recognisable character and quality. A dream of a song!

Final track 'The Safest Place' is simply sublime!

There will be few finer albums this year.

Essential.




5 out of 5 stars Well worth the wait!!   April 8, 2010

I have been a Sade fan since Diamond Life and Promise, back in the early 80's. My original cassette tapes of those two wore out and were eventually replaced with CDs; I own all of her albums. We have waited a long time for this latest release and I am not disappointed. I bought it within the first few days and waited to review until I had played it through a number of times. She is at her soulful best on many tracks, her voice seems to be smokier and more soulful than ever, but there are also lighter notes. Beautiful music, I wish it was longer, but perhaps you can't have quality and quantity.

Not really any upbeat songs like the ocassional ones from her older stuff but still great and if you love Sade you will love this album!


5 out of 5 stars A triumph of subtlety   April 7, 2010

God, what is this? A new album by Sade? I saw her do Soldier of Love on Jonathan Ross. I was intrigued.
She looked and sounded as if she had avoided the last 25 years of aging. But the music.
With the album downloaded and safely on my IPod i delved into it. First listen, disappointed. Felt almost cheated.
Compelled to return to it without knowing why and found myself being treated to a masterclass of understatement.
The deftness of touch these musicians display both with melody and rythmically is incredible. The melodies slowly reveal themselves
until their simple beauty kind of aches when you hear it. Sade has done this before, and she can still do it only with more sensuality and
steamy languid phrases and pauses than ever before. Her soul is there for all to see, and I for one love what I see and hear from that
spiritual woman.

I LOVE Sade, it's that simple! If you like Sade then you'll like this album. Sade is 1 of a kind, unique and an acquired taste. This album is pure poetry! I love the cool, dark, moody, v atmospheric feel 2 this. Totally grows on you! The more you listen 2 it the better it sounds!
