Sade is Returning with Her First Music in Seven Years

Director Ava DuVernay has announced that Sade has written an original track for the upcoming film A Wrinkle in Time, titled Flower of the Universe. Sade Adu has not released new music since 2010's album, Soldier of Love.

“I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway,” DuVernay’s tweet reads. “She was kind + giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for Wrinkle in Time. It’s entitled ‘Flower of the Universe.’ And it’s a dream come true.”

The film, an adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s legendary 1962 children’s book, stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling and is out March 9. The soundtrack also features songs by Demi Lovato, Sia and Kehlani.
