Soldier of Love

Trying to keep up with the latest musick while at the same time finding all the ancient nuggets is kinda hard. I tried to do my part this week-end by buying some new tuneage. Two acts that I always like have new musick out now after quite some time so among others I picked them up & was not at all disappointed. Massive Attack just released their latest Heligoland & I've been waiting since 2003's 100th Window for something new, although lately I've been listening mainly to Collected because it has a great cross-section of their material. I'll post something from it after I've given it a few more listens & figure which song to present.
The other new purchase that I'd really been waiting for was Soldier of Love by Sade. I have a huge crush on Ms. Adu. I should probably feature the title track as it is such a fantastic song with excellent vocals & tremendous guitar, but everyone has been slapping that up (since the single release...cover above). It is my humble opinion that Sade's voice has become increasingly more potent as she has matured & now at times the thought that pops into my mind when I hear her singing is 'the female Leonard Cohen'. I mean that in the most positive of possible ways. After nearly continuous replays, I have decided to honor you all with "The Safest Place". decryption codes in comments
