Reggae crooners Tarrus Riley and Duane Stephenson have added their voices to the English group Sade's current single Soldier of Love.

The remix has been done by producer Colin 'Bulby' York of Fat Eyes Productions and features the two singers alongside Sade.

When THE STAR spoke to Bulby, he explained how the song came about saying, "they (Sony) asked me to do it, to just do a reggae remix. It's not quite official yet cause we're waiting on the clearance ... I don't know their response to the song as yet as Sade is on tour, so I'm waiting on their yes or no."

Once the producer gets the clearance from Sony Music Entertainment, where Sade is signed to, then the remix will be released on itunes and made available to the public. According to Bulby, he was the one who chose Riley and Stephenson for the remix saying, "they just seemed perfect for it, and they both sing on it well."

Thus far, the remix for the song was released to a select few disc jocks over a week ago and has been playing locally on various radio stations. The original Soldier of Love is the lead single of Sade's long awaited sixth album, also called 'Soldier of Love' - which was released in February. This album marked the group's first album release in almost ten years.

The song was released on iTunes digitally on January 12, 2010, and debuted at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's highest debut on the chart and has since peaked at #52. Babyfather is the second UK single to be taken from the album.
