Like so many others, I’m anxiously awaiting February 9th so that I can get my hands on Sade’s new CD, Soldier of Love. It has been 10 years since Sade’s last release (Lovers Rock) and fans have been jonesing for something new. By now, most have heard the title track, which has served as a teaser, but in an effort to whet fans’ appetite even more, Epic Records is now streaming six new tracks. In a very interesting promotional marketing move, each track is being streamed on various entertainment sites. The exclusive tracks and partner sites are as follows:
- “Babyfather” – People.com
- “Be That Easy” – BarnesandNoble.com
- “Bring Me Home” – SheKnows.com
- “In Another Time” – Ellen DeGeneres
- “Long Hard Road” – Starbucks.com
- “Skin” – BET.com
With seven of the projected 10 songs available for public consumption, what do you think of Sade’s new release? Will you be adding Soldier of Love to your collection?
