After a long hiatus from the music scene, sultry songstress Sade hit the scene with her new CD Soldier of Love on February 9, just in time for Valentines Day. Led by the title track, the CD features songs like “Skin” and “In Another Time.”
The question is, where has she been? And why is one of pop’s most reclusive stars making a comeback? It’s certainly not because she needs the money. Sade’s 40-million-dollar fortune is maintained by daily airplays of hits including “Smooth Operator” and “Your Love Is King.”
Still strikingly beautiful, she has spent most of the last decade as
a full-time mom to her 14-year-old daughter, playing teen’s chauffeur
in a 10-year-old Mercedes, taking low-key holidays, and hanging out
with friends.
Fans are delighted that she is back, but they should make the
most of her brief re-emergence. The evidence suggests she is likely to
vanish just as suddenly as she has returned!
