Reclusive pop chanteuse Sade‘s first new song in more than six years will be released in November when her track “Young Lion” appears on the TRAИƧA benefit album from the Red Hot organization. The 46-track concept LP is due out on Nov. 22 and features collaborations between more than 100 artists including: Sam Smith, Laura Jane Grace, Devendra Banhart, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, Bartees Strange, Faye Webster, Julien Baker, Moses Sumney, Hunter Schafer, André 3000, Arthur Baker, Fleet Foxes, Teddy Geiger and lots of extra.

Sade has not put out a full-length album since 2010’s Soldier of Love and her most up-to-date singles are a pair of songs from 2018, “Flower of the Universe” from the A Wrinkle in Time film soundtrack and “The Big Unknown” from the soundtrack to the Steve McQueen-directed drama Widows.

The New York Times described the vibe of the track that includes a tender piano riff and Sade’s iconic soothing vocals, pointing to lyrics “steeped in empathy and regret.” On it, Sade sings, “Young man, it’s been so heavy for you/ You must have felt so alone… I should have known/ Shine like a sun/ You have everything you need.”

The compilation of recent songs, covers and unique tracks goals to help trans consciousness and options trans, non-binary, genderqueer and cisgender acts and is devoted to Sade’s son, Izaak, who identifies as a trans man. According to a launch, the mission started to come back collectively in 2021 and marks probably the most bold initiatives ever from the Red Hot non-profit that has raised greater than $15 million since 1989 to learn HIV/AIDS reduction and consciousness. It is described as “a spiritual journey across 8 chapters and 46 songs, spotlighting the gifts of many of the most daring, imaginative trans and non-binary artists working today alongside contributions and collaborations from allies such as Sade, Sam Smith, André 3000, Clairo, Moses Sumney and many more. It softens the edges of the world we know, and invokes powerful dreams of the futures that might one day thunder from its cracks.”

It continues, “Trans people have always existed, with many different names across time and culture, often as spiritual healers and leaders. As global systems continue to fail humanity and all life on Earth, the journey taken by trans people – and all peoples who have been oppressed – is a blueprint of possibility. May this be a glimpse of our collective liberation, and the light inside all of us.” With greater than three-and-a-half hours of music, the mission is damaged into eight chapters in a reference to the eight stripes on the rainbow satisfaction flag.

Speaking to Variety, Red Hot government director Dust Reid — who compiled the album with Massima Bell — mentioned the concept was to have fun all of the “gifts that trans artists have been giving to the world… We hoped to create a narrative that positions trans and non-binary people as leaders in our society insofar as the deep inner work they do to affirm who they are in our current climate. We felt this is something everybody should do. Whether you identify as trans or non-binary or otherwise, if you took the time to explore your gender, get in touch with the feeling side of yourself, maybe we would have a future oriented around values of community, collaboration, care, and healing.”

Bell, a mannequin and activist who’s transgender, advised the Times that Sade’s track was a revelation. “It’s amazing to hear a legendary musician like Sade sing about her heartfelt experience as the parent of a trans child,” Bell advised the paper. “It’s incredibly powerful.” Reid added that the mission was partly impressed by the loss of life of beloved digital musician/producer Sophie in 2021. “Sophie was a boundary-pushing, generation-defining musician and one of the most important trans artists we’ve ever had,” mentioned Reid.
