Sade: The Ultimate Collection

As you may already know, I'm a huge Sade fan.  So anything new from her is always a treat for me.  Following up her platinum-selling, Grammy-winning album Soldier Of Love, Sade is hitting us with The Ultimate Collection.


To be released May 3rd, this two-disc album will feature classic Sade songs from her most iconic albums, including hits from Lover's Rock and Soldier of Love as well as four new songs, one of which is Love is Found, have a listen and tell me what you think...





Word is, if you pre-order The Ultimate Collection at myplaydirect.com/sade, you will also receive The Ultimate Collection of Sade music videos on DVD. (Guess what I want for my birthday?)

This release is just in time to get us Sade fans all rehearsed and ready to sing along with her live when she goes on tour this summer.  To be joined by fellow Grammy winner John Legend, Sade will be performing across North America (see dates below). I made sure to get my tickets as soon as they were available, because considering that her last tour was in 2001, I'm not willing to wait another 10 years to see her again!
