Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw fervor of contemporaries Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legnd was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West.

With number one hits like "Smooth Operator," "Soldier of Love" and "No Ordinary Love," Sade has endeared themselves to music fans worldwide for the past 25 years. February 2010, Sade released Soldier of Love the bands sixth studio album during their 25 year career and the first since Lovers Rock in 2000. The sonic layering and martial beats of the title track, "Soldier Of Love," sound quite different from anything the band previously recorded.
