The track is taken from the Red Hot Organization’s Transa compilation.
Non-profit charity Red Hot Organization has announced a new compilation, Transa: Selects. The 46-track album celebrates trans people and includes a slew of new tunes from a wide range of artists, including the incredible Sade.
‘Young Lion’ is Sade’s first new single in six years following 2018s ‘Flower of the Universe’ and ‘The Big Unknown’. Written as a tribute to her trans son Izaak, ‘Young Lion’ is a delicate piano ballad Sade co-wrote with Dean and Ben Travers and co-produced with Aaron Taylor Dean.
