Sade's new song "Flower of the Universe" is featured in the official soundtrack for A Wrinkle In Time. The new song marks the singer's return to the music scene after eight years.
Ava DuVernay, the director of A Wrinkle In Time, said that she personally asked Sade to sing a song for the movie's soundtrack. The director said that she was unsure if Sade would say yes, but she did. She also called Sade a goddess.
"We began a journey together that I'll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for Wrinkle In Time. It's entitled 'Flower of the Universe.' And it's a dream come true," wrote DuVernay.
The soundtrack for A Wrinkle In Time also features songs by Sia, Demi Lovato, DJ Khaled, Chloe x Halle, Kehlani and more. The titles of the songs in the album are "I Believe," "Magic," "Let Me Live," "Warrior," and "Park Bench People."
