With mostly garbage Hip Hop inundating today’s radio airwaves, some of us have been able to survive the R&B drought by queuing up Sade on our iPODs and dreaming of how life used to be. Well, dream no more: Sade Adu is returning with a new album for the lover in you!

We don’t even care that the ravaging effects of Sade’s rough life at the hands of her abusive husband is etched all over her face — she’s still beautiful to us!

According to Sony, Sade’s long-awaited follow up to the almost decade old classic “Lover’s Rock” is in the can and ready to hit store shelves in February 2010.

I admit, I’m downloading the album if it leaks early, but I’m also buying two copies: one for the crib and one for the ride. Can’t wait!
