Just over seven years have passed since British-Nigerian singer Sade graced fans with a full-length record, and while her 2018 single "Flower of the Universe" (featured in Ava Duvernay's A Wrinkle in Time) temporarily satisfied listeners, a recent announcement of a forthcoming album should arouse many enthusiasts.

The singer's saxophonist and longtime collaborator Stuart Matthewman told Rated R&B that "we're working on a new album." Adding, Sade Adu and company have “a bunch of songs," and that “when we’re happy, then we’ll let everyone else hear it.”

Matthewman later noted that Sade's label, Epic Records, respects her artistry, with no pressure to release a project. “The record company knows there’s no point in nagging us or giving us deadlines. It doesn’t really help the process," he notes.

Sade, who is known for taking her time between releases last dropped a studio album in 2010, namely, Soldier of Love. Ten years prior, the singer released Lovers Rock in 2000. While there's currently no timestamp on her seventh album, we'll keep you posted as we know more.

Till then, re-visit the singer's latest single below.

Elsewhere in the music world, Kodak Black is expected to be released from jail this August.
