Sade Adu Creates First Song In 7 Years For Disney Film, ‘A Wrinkle In Time’
It’s felt like a lifetime since we got new music from the legendary British-Nigerian singer, Sade Adu – her last studio album, Soldier Of Love was released all the way back in 2010, scoring a deserved Grammy win for its titular track.
Thankfully, the world will get to hear her angelic voice very soon. The four-time Grammy winner has created an original song for Ava DuVernay’s highly-anticipated Disney movie, A Wrinkle in Time — the first $100 million film directed by a woman of colour.
Sade’s song, titled “Flower of the Universe”, will be part of the movie’s official soundtrack — which will also feature original music from Demi Lovato, Chloe x Halle, Kehlani, DJ Khaled, Sia and Freestyle Fellowship.
Based on the beloved 1962 novel of the same name, A Wrinkle in Time follows a young girl who sets off on a quest — with the help of three astral travellers — to find her father, who went missing after discovering a new planet. The movie stars Oprah Winfrey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and many more.
Sharing the news of Sade’s musical contribution on Twitter, DuVernay said:
“I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind [and] giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget.”
No official release date for the soundtrack has been announced, but A Wrinkle in Time is set to hit theatres on March 9.
