Sade is an undisputable legend. She has earned her stripes and has legions of fans all around the world. Who else can put out an album, disappear for 10 years, live her life and then resurface to willing and waiting adoring fans?

People need to try and understand that artists sing when they are inspired. Sade's newest album is darker than her last albums, but she is a mature singer now. She sings from her life, her experiences or the experiences of other people in her life.

Sade knows that the music business is corrupt and she chooses to deal with it in her own terms.....with a very long handled spoon. She is a poet and the great thing about a true artist is that the songs are designed to make us think about things differently. That is what fresh and NEW music is all about.
