Sade's first new album in 10 years is the sterling Pop effort 'Soldier of Love.' Other than the biting and percussive title cut, which still goes down like well-aged scotch, this new collection could very easily pass for the follow-up to 'Diamond Life' nearly 25 years ago. Sade's voice and her band's expertise have aged beautifully, with a smokier and jazzier finish.
