CHERISH THE DAY: Soldier of Love drops Feb. 8, 2010.

My wife, excuse me, Sade returns after a decade with the album Soldier of Love scheduled to drop on Feb. 8, 2010.

According to Billboard.com, Sony label mate Maxwell (who has also collaborated with Sade bandmate Stuart Matthewman in the past) has heard a taste of the new project, to which he responded on his Facebook page: “Trust me, it’s so monolithic it’ll shake you in your shoes!”
