Once again, Jay-Z has pulled off the impossible. Late in 2009, Sade released her first album in a decade. Newcomer, Drake, desperately wanted to work with her. Because of his popularity, many assumed Sade would record with Drake. However, she surprised critics when she turned him down.

When asked why she turned Drake down, Sade said it was nothing personal towards him. She said she was not interested in recording with anyone, at the moment. Even if Sade did have interest in working with any artists, they would have to be an established veteran.

Fast forward a year and a half and Sade is now preparing her first collaboration in years. Jay-Z is her artist of choice and they have major plans. The song will be a remix to her Soldier of Love single, "Moon & The Sky." This remix will be a part of Sade's compilation album, The Ultimate Collection, her album will be released sometime this summer.
