Sorry I missed her premiere with you, sometimes stuff just happens. She is sexy, beautiful and one hell of a singer! “Back in the day “ a lot of artists would incorporate movie scenes like Thriller did to dress up their videos. I did watch the whole video. Thanks Adogg! You put on a great show too!
Sade was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2002 for services to music, and stated her award was "a great gesture to me and all black women in England". She was promoted to Commander of the same Order (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours, also for services to music.
Sade is a vibe. She has one if the unmistakable voices, like Adele. There are a lot of great recommendations below. This was her first #1 hit here in the US. An amazing and beautiful woman.
Her voice is smokey, smooth and can melt your bones. I fell for her voice when I heard her song Paradise. It's one of a very few from her with a more uptempo, funky vibe. This song always got me out on a dance floor. When you get a minute would you be so kind as to put Lisa Stansfield on your list. The song is All Around The World
You've just discovered my girl Sade. She has a gorgeous catalog. My faves by her are CHERISH THE DAY, BY YOUR SIDE, NO ORDINARY LOVE, KISS OF LIFE, the list goes on and on. You seriously cannot go wrong with any Sade song.
“1984, I wasn’t even born yet😂”…😭Now I feel OLD!👌🏼😂😂I was 10 when Sade brought this song out, she’s amazing! Loved her then, love her now🥰Such a unique singer🥰
When I was in high school I used to climb up on my roof when my parents weren’t home and listen to her album over and over as the sun went down and the stars came out. Lots of good nostalgia for me! Glad you enjoyed it too!
I can not believe this is the first time you heard Sade…She is amazing. My one regret is not seeing her live! Oh she will be on your playlist for sure now!
Sade was one of the first interracial women to shock the sensibilities of racists in America. She is half British, half Nigerian (I believe), and man, you got eyes and ears. My Boomer dad didn't quite know what to think, especially seeing her with a White man in her video, but he loved her voice. My parents raised us kids to not be racists, and we gifted them back with helping them past whatever b.s. they were raised with. None of my nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews are racist. In fact, a few are mixed themselves. And then genetic testing showed, my African bits came through my fish-belly white, ice blue-eyed, blonde dad. Sade opened people's eyes, including dad's, to love being love. I'm here for that.
You would love to see Sade perform live. She does a great rendition of "Why can't we live Together ?" at the 1984 Montreux Jazz Festival. Everything she does is great.
Sade - Fantastic and much respected artist. Wonderful distinctive voice. She has a great catalogue of hits and complemented by many skillful muso's. This music never gets old.
I was lucky enough to see her in person on her first trip to the US in 1983 and she was one of the finest vocalists I had seen in a long time. She had a stage presence that was amazing and the lyrics floated from her mouth like a living tide of honey. The crowd was dead silent during the entire first song, I believe it was either Smooth Operator or Is It a Crime. I saw her a few times over the years and it was always enjoyable.
There was a time when I would hear this song 3 times on my hour long commute. I got sick of it, but then didn’t hear it for years. When I heard it again, I was blown away by how beautiful it is.
If you see her even now, it's as though she hasn't aged a day. There are full live concerts on you tube if you look for them. Not for reaction videos, but for your own pleasure. She is every bit as perfect sounding live as she is from the studio. She's got more hits than you've got years on this earth.
I fell in love with Sade when her first album hit. LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE her. I actually got to see her in concert. Next song should be Your Love is King. Or Nothing Can Come Between Us or Sweetest Taboo or No Ordinary Love or Hang on to Your Love or Is It a Crime or Cherry Pie or Maureen or Pearls......it goes on and on. She is beautiful and so is her voice.
When this song came out I was in Jr high school at 14 years old. Im about to be 51 this year. She is still one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Do one her live videos. She's amazing
Oh sade is my jam. I first heard her when I was about 10 and was drawn in by her voice. I understand the songs more as an adult. Love her! Tattoo by her is amazing too! one of my favorites. ❤
i owned this album on cassette back in the 1980's and played it so much it stretched and warped! keep up the good tunes mate! big love to all people :)
Hey Adogg, being the bass player that I am, a Sade hit that I love playing along to is "Cherry Pie." Great driving bass groove, and Sade knocks it out of the park with that sultry voice you smiled at. I know you'll love it, too. Please give Cherry Pie a listen.
Sade is a Queen and she makes it look so easy. Check out Is It A Crime live it’s a great tune. The first time I heard Sade was when I was about 5 or 6 in the early 80s. Every Friday night at 7 pm The Muppet Show came on and they always had a famous actor and musical artist. She was on and sang this song to Kermit the Frog.
Oooh!! She is my absolute favorite!! My favorite is; Is it a crime?!! I really would like to see your reaction to this song that speaks so much to me!!🤗❤
Oh my goodness, you are in for a treat. She is such her own special vibe. CHERISH THE DAY, THE SWEETEST TABOO, NO ORDINARY LOVE, LOVERS ROCK are all winners. Enjoy :)
Sade is fantastic, a lot of great songs! Sweetest Taboo, Your Love is King, Hang On To Your Love, By Your Side Paradise, No OrdinaryLove.... Her live performances are the BEST!
How can you not like this song ? And for Sade at this time she is mega HOT and now in her 60's not much has changed and a couple of kids as well still knockin on that hot door ..
What a woman Sade is! Not only as beautiful as can be, but she exsudes class, charm, and elegance through every pore, and when she opens her mouth, reams of the finest velvet come out! 😍
This lady is the sexiest and has more class in her little finger than all of the other female artists out there. Please listen to her live 2011 performance of Soldier of Love and Your Love is King, you will really see her talent and beauty. She is from South Africa, Nigeria to be exact, just beautiful........
She is the smoothest of them all. Her band is still the same as when they began; this song was her first hit. Hasn't done a slew of albums, only 8 in 37 years. Seeing her in concert is a musical wet dream!
As someone who grew up in Little Italy during the early 1950s, I will testify that Sade' captured the lower Manhattan sound of jazz and blues, even in Mafia territory. A truly New York state of mind throughout.
Sade is a fantastic band, Sade Adu the singer in which the band wad named after was offered her own career, but she wanted to stick with her band mates and do it their way. They only produced six albums over their long career together but each and every album is an absolute gem from start to finish, like every album is a greatest hits album.
Most of her songs give off a real "sensual" vibe in opinion. Bedroom songs 😁. I love them all and of course had the cassette (I was 20)! Sweetest Taboo is probably my fave.
