OMGOMGOMG. Thanks to Ava DuVernay, Sade is coming out of hibernation, albeit only briefly.
Yesterday, DuVernay tweeted that Sade would be contributing an original song for A Wrinkle In Time, which comes out next month.
DuVernay wrote:
I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind + giving. 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.

How about we take this to the next level?
