Sade is blessing the world with new music for the second time this year.
The song, titled “The Big Unknown,” will be featured over the end credits for the film Widows, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Widows is directed by 12 Years a Slave's Steve McQueen and stars Viola Davis. In announcing the song, McQueen couldn't say enough about his love for the "Sweetest Taboo" artist.
“It was an honor to work with such a legend. Sade is an incomparable talent and incredible artist who so rarely releases new material, but luckily the original series of Widows had deeply resonated with her,” said McQueen. The film was adapted from a British television show that aired in the 1980s and tells the stories of three widows who must deal with the aftermath of their criminal husbands' deaths.
“Her music works in complete harmony with the film; it is a perfect combination. Working with Sade was a powerful experience — we had many deep conversations about the song which is extremely heartfelt and moving. I feel so lucky that she has made this beautiful song for my film.”
“The Big Unknown” is Sade’s second release this year.
She had a track, “Flower of the Universe,” on the A Wrinkle in Time soundtrack.
The singer's last full-length album was 2010's acclaimed Soldier of Love, and these two new tracks have fans hoping a new album could be on the way.
