Today (February 9) sees the debut of Sade’s Solider of Love, the singer’s highly anticipated new CD that is her first since 2000’s Lovers Rock.

The first single released from Soldier Of Love, the title track, has been historic in that it is the first song to ever debut at No. 1 in monitored airplay and also the first vocal track to hit No. 1 on any monitored smooth jazz radio chart. “Soldier Of Love” debuted at No. 1 the first weekend in January on the Smooth Jazz Top 20 Countdown.

In addition to the No. 1 song, Sade’s 10-song CD features titles such as “The Moon and the Sky,” “Morning Bird,” “Long Hard Road,” “Bring Me Home” and “In Another Time.”

Sade will be making a number of rare TV appearances to promote Solider of Love. She will be on the Today show today, in addition to 106 & Park on BET and The Late Show With David Letterman. She will perform Wednesday (February 10) on The View, Monday (February 15) on Ellen, February 16 on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and February 20 on The Wanda Sykes Show.
