For the First Time in 7 Years, Sade Has a New Song, And It’s for Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time

  • Ava DuVernay celebrated a cosmic contribution to the soundtrack to her A Wrinkle in Time adaptation on Twitter today, out from Disney on March 9. After a seven-year absence (at least from the world of musical debuts), the inimitable Sade Adu has new music for the film, delivering a track called “Flower of the Universe.” The rest of the lineup features Sia, Kehlani, and DJ Khaled with Demi Lovato, among others, but Sade’s inclusion is a true event. Yes, we’re excited for Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling to share the same screen. Yes, we’re ready for the sweeping New Zealand vistas DuVernay shot to create the magical world of the classic young adult novel. But we can’t wait to hear the Nigerian-British “Smooth Operator” after what seems like an eternity; it feels like Madeleine L’Engle would approve.


Vogue is chock-full of Sade stans, so until we can hear the full A Wrinkle in Timesoundtrack, spend some time appreciating Sade as a beauty icon, a style legend, and a music goddess.

And can someone check on Drake?

We’re around the same age. Her time was when we didn’t care much about music but her catalog and numbers are no joke.

Its odd cuz Sade music is the shyt but Sade the singer is emotionless, monotone and lethargic (You can tell she was on the RON back in the day) I have never heard her on anybody's top 10-20 vocalist list but she has the most loyal international fanbase I've ever seen for "Urban" music.

First off, let me say that Sade is not for everyone. but if you like R and b, jazz, blues and neo soul. You should like Sade. Her voice and music just draws you in. Songs to check out

Bullet proof soul, couldn't love you more, Never as good as the first time, smooth operator, paradise, hang on to your love, Kiss of life, NO ordinary love, is it a crime, etc. She has so many hits bro.
