Sade‘s first new song in more than six years is set to be released this November, as her track, “Young Lion,” is set to appear on the TRAИƧA benefit album coming from the Red Hot organization. Sade will be featured alongside an impressive list of artists on the sprawling 46-track concept album, which will also include music from Sam Smith, André 3000, Julien Baker, Fleet Foxes, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Laura Jane Grace, Devendra Banhart, Bartees Strange, Faye Webster, Moses Sumney, Hunter Schafer, Arthur Baker, Teddy Geiger, and more.
The reclusive Sade has not released a full-length album since 2010’s Soldier of Love, while her most recent singles are both from 2018 soundtracks, “Flower of the Universe” from A Wrinkle in Time and “The Big Unknown” from Widows. The TRAИƧA compilation features new songs, covers, and exclusive tracks, with sales of the album going to support trans awareness and causes. According to the press release, the project started to come together in 2021, and is one of the most ambitious projects from the Red Hot non-profit, which has raised more than $15 million since 1989 to benefit HIV/AIDS relief and awareness.
