New Sade Single and Album - 'Soldier Of Love'

'Soldier Of Love' is the highly anticipated first single off Sade's forthcoming new body of work by the same name.

Sade co-produced the single 'Soldier Of Love' with Mike Pela and it was written by Sade along with longtime collaborators Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul Spencer Denman.

The track, featuring a pulsating and anthemic drum beat along with the haunting vocals that Sade is known for, is set to hit airwaves on 8th December.

It will kick off the countdown for the album, which was recorded in England and is set for release worldwide on 8th February. (MySpace)

I personally am very excited about this new album and the first single 'Soldier Of Love' is simply amazing. It's unique, there's no other sound like this out there. Sade's music has been missed for some time now, and many people can't wait for the album to come out.

Listen to 'Soldier Of Love' here.

Check out the cover art for the album and the single, they are absolutely breathtaking!

"Look out, boys! I'm coming through!" - Princess Tiana, "Almost There"

Walt Disney Pictures' highly anticipated animated masterpiece, 'The Princess and the Frog' will have its official wide release this Friday, December 11th! In the meantime, everyone has been bumping the film's official soundtrack, which includes a lively collection of original songs and an orchestral score by Randy Newman, and Ne-Yo's romantic pop ballad, "Never Knew I Needed".

Elton John, the man behind the award-winning soundtrack for 'The Lion King' has nothing but praise for Disney's decision to bring Newman on board for the film's music: "Randy Newman is, for me, an American treasure.... One of my favorite writers of all time, before he started writing for God knows how many animation movies with Pixar and Disney. This could be one of the best Disney scores ever, because I think he's fantastic."

Chief Creative Officer for Pixar/Walt Disney Animation Studios, John Lasseter, also weighed about the significance of this particular soundtrack: "The songs in 'The Princess and the Frog' are so key to advancing the story, and also to really introducing the characters and learning about the characters; what they're about, what they want, what's inside them."
