Jokes aside though, this trailer single from the first Sade album since 2000 is a bit of a revelation - a rich, atmospheric pop symphony with, as the title suggests, a military theme. What's impressive is how fully-realised that theme is, from the marching band percussion to the cadence call-style hooks, the guitar riffs that ape the sound of gunfire to Sade crooning lines like "I've lost the use of my heart". And how does she sound? Well, let's just say that voice is holding up just as well as that face.

Sooooo excited she, sorry they, are back ! She looks and sounds like perfection as ever, a classic smooth and catchy track and great video. The album will be the release of the year for me
A great song! And nobody sounds like Sade! Welcome back - please don't take another decade to come out with another CD!
I don't understand why DS gave this 4 stars instead of 5. Go on, lose the politics and change your rating, it will feel liberating. This is an outstanding comeback, cannot wait for the album, and she does indeed appear to have found the fountain of youth!
