FLOWER OF THE UNIVERSE


I can’t tell you how thrilled I was hearing the news that Sade was coming out with a new song. It is for the soundtrack of Ava DuVernay’s new fantasy adventure, “A Wrinkle in Time”. The director states that she simply just wrote a letter to the elusive vocalist asking if she might consider providing a song. Not expecting her to seriously accept the offer, DuVernay was pleasantly surprised when she agreed. And the wait is finally over as Sade’s track, “Flower of the Universe” has just been dropped. It has been over seven years since we last heard from the fifty-nine year old singer and her band which was with the release of the great, “Soldier of Love” back in 2010. This tender ballad was a true collaboration between the singer and the filmmaker that lead to some of the lyrics actually being used as dialogue in the movie. This is classic Sade and hopefully will lead to more new music.
