As a follow up to the platinum-selling 'Soldier of Love', which reached number 4 in the UK album chart and garnered a well-deserved Grammy, Sade presents 'The Ultimate Collection'. In addition to classic Sade songs, the must-have album features three new, never-before heard songs, including "The Moon and the Sky" (featuring Jay-Z) and a gorgeous cover of the Thin Lizzy song "Still in Love With You".

Here for the start time, fans can see all of their favourite Sade classics from their most iconic albums, including songs from the 'Best of' collecting and the greatest hits off of 'Lovers Rock' and 'Soldier of Love'.

The accomplishments of 'Soldier of Bed' so far are astounding. The single, "Soldier of Love" - which Sade co-produced with Mike Pela, and was scripted by Sade along with longtime collaborators Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul Spencer Denman made radio history in America upon its release.

Known for their one of a kind timeless sound, Sade has enjoyed phenomenal success both internationally and stateside throughout the cross of their twenty-seven year career. Since the release of their debut album, 'Diamond Life' in 1984 the set has seen all 5 of their studio albums land in the Top 10 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart selling a number of more than 50 million albums worldwide to date. They've been nominated for American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and have won four Grammy Awards - first in 1986 for "Best New Artist", then in 1994 for "Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group" for "No Ordinary Love", again in 2002 for "Best Pop Vocal Album" with 'Lovers Rock' and most recently in 2011 for "Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group" for "Soldier of Love".
